Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 lb boneless pork loin roast
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels.
  3. Rub the pork loin all over with olive oil.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together salt, pepper, garlic powder, rosemary, and thyme.
  5. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the pork loin.
  6. Place the pork loin in a roasting pan.
  7. Roast for 20 minutes at 400°F (200°C).
  8. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C) and continue roasting for about 15-20 minutes per pound, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the roast registers 145°F (63°C).
  9. Remove the pork loin from the oven and let it rest, tented with foil, for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
  10. While the pork rests, you can make a pan sauce by deglazing the roasting pan with a little broth or wine and simmering until reduced.

Notes

  • For a crispier crust, you can increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) for the first 15 minutes, then reduce to 325°F (160°C).
  • Always use a meat thermometer to ensure your pork is cooked to the correct internal temperature for safety and juiciness.
  • Resting the meat is crucial for a tender and juicy roast.
