Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds Pork loin roast
- 8 whole Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 cup Chicken broth
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Using a small sharp knife, make 8 small incisions evenly around the pork loin roast. Carefully insert one garlic clove into each incision, ensuring they are fully embedded in the meat.
Rub the roast all over with olive oil. Then season it with salt, black pepper, and paprika, making sure to coat all sides evenly.
Place the pork roast on a roasting rack inside a roasting pan. This allows even heat circulation.
Roast the pork in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches about 135°F (57°C).
While the pork is roasting, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, honey, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and chicken broth. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens slightly (about 5-7 minutes).
After the pork has roasted for 60 minutes, brush it generously with the glaze and return it to the oven.
Continue roasting for another 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C) and the glaze is caramelized and golden.
Remove the pork roast from the oven and tent it loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the roast into 1/2-inch thick slices and serve warm, garnished with fresh rosemary if desired.
