Pork roast with roasted veggies

I am not a gourmet cook, but I so want to be! I browse through Pinterest to make my menu for the week, and I'm getting better the more I do it. What has saved me is several really awesome recipes. One of my favorites is Pork roast with roasted vegetables. There are two keys to this being fabulous. One is the seasoning. I buy mine from The Spice & Tea Exchange and Pampered Chef. I hope you enjoy it. The other is a meat thermometer.

3 pound pork roast or pork tenderloin
2 t salt
1 t pepper
2 T  Tuscan Italian seasoning (The Spice & Tea Exchange)
1 t Cinnamon Plus Spice Blend (Pampered Chef)
2 large sweet potatoes, cubed
1 medium butternut squash, cubed
1 large sweet onion cut into 8 wedges
5 t extra virgin olive oil

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. On a plate or cutting board, rub Italian seasoning and 1 t salt and ½ t pepper all over roast.

Place pork in a large frying pan with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Put all the vegetables in the pan with the rest of the olive oil, cinnamon blend, 1 t salt, and   ½ t pepper. Mix with hands until all covered. Push veggies to sides of pan to make room for meat, and place it in the center. I used tenderloin this time, but I have used a pork roast for this, as well.

• Check the meat with a meat thermometer after about 45 minutes until the temperature reaches 155 degrees. The meat will look a little pink, but take it out and let it rest. It will continue to cook for a few minutes, and will be perfect.
