Preheat the oven to 220°C. Boil plenty of water in a pot or saucepan. Peel or thoroughly wash the carrots. Halve the carrots lengthways or cut any larger ones into quarters. Boil the carrots for 5 minutes, then drain and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and the honey (see pantry for amounts). Season with salt and pepper, then toss well to coat. Roast in the oven for 15 - 18 minutes.
Peel and roughly chop the parsnip, then transfer to the pot or saucepan and submerge in water. Boil the parsnip for 12 - 14 minutes, then drain and set aside. Heat a clean frying pan over high heat and toast the sunflower seeds until they start to turn lightly golden-brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Melt a knob of butter in the same pan over medium-high heat and fry the pork tenderloin for 2 - 3 minutes per side. Cover with a lid and fry for 5 - 6 more minutes, then remove from the pan and set aside under aluminium foil until serving. Meanwhile, add the rest of the butter to the parsnip. Use an immersion blender to process into a smooth purée, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve the parsnip purée on plates. Slice the pork tenderloin and serve it on top of the purée. Serve the labneh alongside. Scatter over the za'atar and top with the carrots. Garnish with the sunflower seeds and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil as preferred.
