Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds pork loin
- 0.5 cups honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Trim any excess fat from the pork loin and pat it dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, dried thyme, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and apple cider vinegar.
Place the pork loin in a roasting pan or baking dish. Rub the honey glaze all over the pork loin, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Loosely cover the pork loin with aluminum foil to prevent the top from burning during the initial roasting phase.
Roast the pork loin in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, basting occasionally with the pan juices to keep it moist.
Remove the foil after 50 minutes and continue roasting for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) in the thickest part of the meat.
Once cooked, remove the pork loin from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the pork loin into 1/2-inch thick slices and serve with the pan juices drizzled on top.
