3 pounds boneless pork loin, trimmed
3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1 lemon, zested and halved
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, or to taste
1/4 cup olive oil, divided
salt and ground black pepper to taste
10 small red potatoes, quartered
8 carrots, cut diagonally into 1-inch pieces
2 onions, thickly sliced
1/4 cup melted butter
5 stalks white asparagus, halved diagonally

1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2
Cut slits 1/2 to 3/4 inches apart all over pork loin and push garlic into each slit. Sprinkle lemon zest, lemon juice, and rosemary over the pork. Spread 1 tablespoon olive oil over the pork. Season with salt and pepper.
3
Coat a roasting pan with remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil. Add potatoes, carrots, and onions. Drizzle melted butter over vegetables; stir until lightly coated.
4
Roast in the preheated oven until starting to soften, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven. Stir in asparagus. Place pork loin on top.
5
Return to oven and continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the pork reads at least 138 degrees F (59 degrees C), about 35 minutes.
6
Transfer pork to a cutting board and wrap with aluminum foil.
7
Continue roasting vegetables until tender, 10 to 15 minutes more.
8
Uncover pork and slice. Serve with roasted vegetables.
