Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
Pat the pork loin dry using paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and fresh rosemary leaves.
In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic, rosemary, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to form a paste.
Rub the garlic-rosemary paste all over the pork loin, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Place the pork loin into a roasting pan or oven-safe skillet.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the top of the pork loin for added brightness.
Roast the pork loin in the preheated oven for approximately 60β70 minutes, or until the internal temperature reads 145Β°F (63Β°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
Once cooked, remove the pork loin from the oven and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the pork loin into 1/2-inch thick slices and serve warm. Pair with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
