Ingredients

    1 tablespoon fennel seeds
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    kosher salt and pepper
    2 pounds boneless lean pork loin
    2 red onions, quartered
    1 pound small white potatoes, quartered
    3 firm pears (such as Bartlett), cored and quartered

Directions

Heat oven to 400° F.

Using the bottom of a heavy pan, crush the fennel seeds. In a small bowl, mix the seeds, the garlic, 1 tablespoon of the oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Rub the mixture over the pork, then place the pork in a large roasting pan.

In a bowl, mix the onions, potatoes, pears, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and the remaining oil. Scatter around the pork and roast until cooked through, about 70 minutes (internal temperature 160° F). Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let rest at least 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with the roasted fruit and vegetables.
