You can’t beat the ease of this one-pan recipe. All you have to do is place the ingredients on a sheet pan and roast it in the oven. While the fresh apples that we call for evoke the flavors of fall, you can also try it with pears and chicken another time. Roasting the red onions and fennel along with the fruit leads to that perfectly softened, tender consistency. All the pork needs is salt and pepper and 15 minutes in the oven alongside the aromatics to put this impressive, effortless weeknight dinner together.
