Cooking Steps
Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). Cut the potato (unpeeled) into 1cm chunks. Cut the zucchini into 1cm chunks. Thinly slice the red capsicum. Slice the red onion into 2cm wedges. TIP Cut the veggies to the correct size so they cook in the allocated time.
Divide the garlic, potato, zucchini, capsicum and onion between two oven trays lined with baking paper. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat then spread out in a single layer. Roast until tender, 25-30 minutes.
While the veggies are roasting, add the pork loin steaks to a medium bowl and drizzle with a little olive oil. Sprinkle with the lemon pepper spice blend and season with pepper. Toss to coat and set aside. Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the flaked almonds and toast, stirring, until fragrant, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. TIP: For the low-calorie option, omit the flaked almonds.
When the veggies have 10 minutes cook time remaining, return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the pork and cook until just cooked through, 3-4 minutes each side (depending on thickness). Transfer to a plate and set aside to rest for 5 minutes. TIP: You can serve pork slightly blushing in the centre.
In a large bowl, combine the roasted veggies and baby spinach leaves. Toss to combine and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Thickly slice the pork steaks. Divide the roast veggie toss and lemon pepper pork between plates and drizzle with the balsamic glaze (see ingredients list). Sprinkle with the almonds (if using) and serve with the creamy pesto dressing.
