1 Prepare & sear the pork

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line two sheet pans with foil. Pat the pork dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper on all sides. In a medium pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned pork. Cook, turning occasionally, 4 to 6 minutes, or until browned on all sides. Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to one side  of one sheet pan.

2 Prepare & season the vegetables

Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut off and discard the ends of the squash. Halve lengthwise; using a spoon, scoop out and discard the pulp and seeds, then cut the squash crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. Halve and peel the onion; cut into 1/2-inch-wide wedges, separating the layers. Cut off and discard the ends of the turnip, then peel and medium dice. Medium dice the potatoes. Combine the prepared vegetables in a large bowl. Drizzle with 2 teaspoons of olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and the quatre épices. Toss to coat. Transfer 1/3 of the seasoned vegetables to the other side of the sheet pan of seared pork. Transfer the remaining seasoned vegetables to the remaining sheet pan. Arrange in an even layer.
