Instructions
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Trim, peel, and cut carrots on a diagonal into 1⁄2-inch-thick pieces (if carrots are on the larger side, halve lengthwise first). • Toss carrots on one side of a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, chili flakes (use less if you prefer less heat), and salt. Roast on top rack for 5 minutes (you’ll add more to the sheet then).
• Cut broccoli into bite-sized pieces if necessary. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens.
• Pat pork* dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side. Turn off heat; transfer to a cutting board to rest and tent with foil to keep warm. Wipe out pan.
• Once carrots have roasted for 5 minutes, carefully toss broccoli on opposite side of sheet with a drizzle of oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. • Return to top rack until veggies are browned and tender, 15-20 minutes more.
• Once veggies are almost done roasting, heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for pork over medium heat. Add scallion whites; cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add jam, ponzu, Sriracha, and 1⁄4 cup water (1/3 cup for 4 servings) to pan. Cook, stirring, until thickened, 1-3 minutes. TIP: If sauce seems too thick, stir in more water 1 tsp at a time. • Remove from heat and stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) until melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Slice pork crosswise. • Divide pork and veggies between plates. Spoon sauce over pork and garnish with scallion greens. Serve.
Pork is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.
