Steps:

Roast the pork Preheat an oven to 450ºF. Season the pork with salt and pepper. Place the pork, fat side up, in a roasting pan just large enough to hold it. Pour 2 to 3 Tbs. water around the pork and roast for 25 minutes. If the pan becomes dry, add another 2 Tbs. water. Season the vegetables Meanwhile, in a large bowl, stir together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce and sesame oil. Add the squash and onions and toss to coat. Finish the pork Reduce the oven temperature to 325ºF. Baste the pork with the pan drippings and arrange the vegetables around the pork. Continue to roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the pork registers 140º to 145ºF and the pork is barely pink in the center, 45 to 50 minutes more. Transfer the pork to a carving board, cover loosely with aluminium foil and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice enough pork for one meal and serve with the hoisin vegetables.
