Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut carrot, parsnip and courgette into fries. Place veggie fries on a lined tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. Spread out evenly, then bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.
Meanwhile, thinly slice herbs. Reserve some pineapple juice (2 tbs for 2 people / 1/4 cup for 4 people), then drain pineapple slices. In a medium bowl, combine Creole spice blend, a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil. Add pork and turn to coat.
Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Cook pineapple slices until lightly browned, 2-3 minutes each side. Transfer to a plate, then roughly chop.
When the veggies have 10 minutes remaining, return the frying pan to medium-high heat. When oil is hot, cook pork until cooked through, 3-4 minutes each side. Remove pan from heat, then add the butter and reserved pineapple juice, turning pork to coat. Transfer to a plate to rest for 5 minutes.
TIP: The spice blend will char slightly in the pan, this adds to the flavour!
In a second medium bowl, combine charred pineapple, shredded cabbage mix, a drizzle of white wine vinegar, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Slice Cajun pork. Divide pork, veggie fries and charred pineapple slaw between plates. Spoon over any remaining sauce from the pan. Garnish with herbs. Serve with garlic dip.
