Ingredients for Awesome Roast Pork

  • Garlic Cloves
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon dried thyme
  • Black Pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Pork Loin Roast

How to Make Awesome Roast Pork

  1. In a small bowl, combine 1 tbsp dried rosemary, 1 tbsp dried thyme, 2 tsp garlic powder, and 1 tsp salt.
  2. Drizzle 2 tbsp olive oil over the pork roast and rub the herb mixture evenly over the entire surface of the meat.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight for even more flavor).
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Place the pork roast in a roasting pan.
  6. Roast in the preheated oven until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the pork registers 160°F (71°C), about 1 hour 25 minutes (cooking time may vary depending on the size of your roast).
  7. Remove from oven and let the pork rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing thinly to serve. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
