In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in salsa verde and add almonds, cumin, and oregano.
Step 4
Stir the sauce and simmer 2 minutes, then pour it over the pork on the sheet pan and toss to coat.

Roast uncovered at 425°F for 12–15 minutes until pork is cooked through and edges start to brown.
