Pumpkin Spice Roasted Pork with Fall Vegetables
Pumpkin Pie Spice is not just for desserts (it’s not even exclusive to just pumpkin and squash), and here’s the proof! Pumpkin Pie Spice’s combination of cinnamon, pepper, and nutmeg is perfect in salty/sweet dishes like this one.
This comforting recipe bursts with fall flavors. The low temperature preserves the pork’s juices and ensures the brown sugar caramelizes gently.
