Step 1
Preheat oven to 475°F. Pat pork skin dry—this is the only way to get crackling.
Step 2
Toss parsnips and carrots with 2 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper on a sheet pan. Push to the sides.
Step 3
Rub pork skin with 1 tbsp oil and a heavy pinch of salt. Set skin-side up in the center of the pan.
Step 4
Spread mustard and caraway seeds over the meat (not the skin). Roast 15 minutes until skin is shattered and crackling.
Step 5
Vegetables should be tender and caramelized; meat should register 160°F at the thickest point.
Step 6
Rest 2 minutes, then slice pork. Serve with crackling shards and roasted roots on top.
