- Scatter squash and garlic in a lrge roasting pan.
- Mix rosemary, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; rub into pork.
- Place in pan with vegetables; drizzle with oil.
- Roast 25 minutes.
- Brush pork with hoisin sauce.
- Continue roasting, about 15 minutes, until pork reaches and internal temperature of 140 degrees.
- Let meat stand 5 minutes before slicing into 1 1/2 inch tenderloins.

- NOTE: The recipe says to leave the skin on the squash. Perhaps this is so the squash will not fall apart during the cooking process. I did cook it as specified but took it off prior to eating.
