• Transfer the pork to a 9 x 13-inch (22 x 33 cm) baking sheet. Roast for 10 minutes, until the fat is beginning to render and brown.
• Meanwhile in a large bowl add the Brussels sprouts, butternut squash, and red onion, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and 1 tablespoon McCormick® Savoury Spice Blend and toss to coat.
