Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the pork loin on a clean surface and pat it dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, rosemary, thyme, parsley, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until a paste forms.
Rub the herb mixture thoroughly over the entire surface of the pork loin to evenly coat it.
Brush the loin lightly with Dijon mustard to help the crust adhere.
Spread breadcrumbs evenly over a large plate and roll the pork loin in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to form a crust.
Place the crusted pork loin on a roasting rack set over a baking sheet or in a roasting pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
Remove the pork loin from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Slice the pork loin into thick pieces and serve with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
