Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork loin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 4 large garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, chopped fresh rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, black pepper, and lemon zest to create an herb rub.
Rub the herb mixture evenly over the entire pork loin, ensuring it is well coated.
Place the pork loin on a roasting pan fitted with a rack to allow air circulation underneath during cooking.
Roast in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork loin from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the pork loin and serve with your choice of sides.
