Ingredients & Prep
Ingredients
Preparation
1

Prepare the pork and zucchini. Preheat oven to 450 F with two racks equidistant from each other. Place a large cast iron skillet on the bottom rack to warm.

2

Pat the pork loin dry with a paper towel and trim off any access fat. Rub pork loin with a third of the avocado oil and sprinkle with half the salt.  

3

With oven mitts on, carefully remove pan and place on a heat-safe surface. Add a third avocado oil and swirl to coat. Using tongs, place the pork loin in the pan, bending to fit, if necessary. Roast for 10 minutes.

4

While the pork is roasting, toss zucchini with remaining avocado oil and sprinkle with remaining salt. Spread zucchini evenly on a greased baking sheet.

5

Carefully remove pork loin from oven and flip. Turn the heat down to 400 F.  Place zucchini in the oven.

6

Return the pork loin to the oven and roast for another 10-15 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 140 degrees at the thickest part.

7

Remove both pans from oven. Using tongs, place pork on a cutting board and tent with aluminum foil. Let the roast sit for 10 minutes. Slice into ½ inch strips.

8

Serve pork with zucchini, lime wedges and optional Cilantro Chimichurri Sauce.
