### **How to Make Honey Mustard Roasted Pork Belly with Vegetables**

1. **Prepare the Pork Belly**
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the pork belly dry and score the skin with a sharp knife in a crisscross pattern, being careful not to cut too deep.

2. **Make the Honey Mustard Glaze**
In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, whole grain mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.

3. **Season and Glaze the Pork**
Rub the pork belly all over with salt and pepper. Spread the honey mustard glaze evenly over the pork belly, making sure to cover the skin and sides.

4. **Arrange the Vegetables**
Place the carrots, parsnips, and onion in a roasting pan or baking dish. Toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, and fresh herbs.

5. **Roast Together**
Set the pork belly on top of the vegetables. Roast in the oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, basting the pork belly with extra glaze every 20 minutes for that perfect caramelized crust.

6. **Crisp the Skin**
For extra crispy skin, increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) for the last 10-15 minutes of cooking. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.

7. **Rest and Serve**
Remove from the oven and let the pork belly rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve alongside the roasted vegetables and enjoy!
