• Bake 1 to 1 ½ hours, depending on the weight of the pork.
• Raise the heat of the oven to 500ºF (260ºC).
• In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, honey, and remaining soy sauce, stirring until smooth.
• Spoon the honey glaze over the top of the pork, making sure to fill the cracks and crevices on top.
• Bake for 20 minutes until sugar is dark brown and caramelized, and the top of the pork is crispy.
• Remove the vegetables and pork from the tray, making sure to save all the juices.
• Slice the pork into ½-inch (2 ½ cm) slices, and plate with the roasted vegetables. Spoon the reserved pan juices on top of the pork.
• Enjoy!
