Instructions
- Heat the oven to 425°F. Trim the green beans, cut the corn kernels from the cob, thinly slice the onion, and mince the garlic; pat the pork dry and remove any silver skin.
- Mix the mustard, honey, vinegar, garlic, 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning, and 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in a small bowl.
- Rub the pork with the remaining olive oil and Creole seasoning. Place it on one side of a large rimmed sheet pan and brush with half the mustard mixture.
- Roast the pork for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, toss the green beans, corn, and onion with a pinch each of salt and pepper.
- Add the vegetables to the other side of the pan in a single layer. Roast for 12–16 minutes more, stirring the vegetables once, until the pork reaches 145°F in its thickest part and the beans are tender and blistered.
- Transfer the pork to a board and rest for 5 minutes. Toss the hot vegetables with the remaining mustard mixture, adding a splash of water if needed to loosen it.
- Slice the pork across the grain and plate it beside the Creole green beans, corn, and onion; spoon any sheet-pan juices over the top.
