American · Main course · 80 min total

A succulent and flavorful roast pork loin with a crispy herb crust, perfect for a Sunday dinner or holiday feast.

Ingredients

• 2.5 lb boneless pork loin roast
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 cup chicken broth

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper to form a paste.
3. Pat pork loin dry with paper towels. Rub the herb paste all over the pork.
4. Place pork loin fat-side up in a roasting pan. Pour chicken broth into the pan (not over the pork).
5. Roast for 50-60 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
6. Remove from oven, tent with foil, and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Tips

• For extra crispiness, sear the pork loin in a hot skillet before roasting.
• Leftovers make great sandwiches the next day.
• Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
