Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds pork loin
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
- 6 large garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, finely chop the fresh rosemary and thyme leaves.
Mince the garlic cloves and add to the chopped herbs.
Mix in the olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to create a fragrant herb paste.
Place the pork loin onto a cutting board and pat it dry using paper towels.
Carefully score the top of the pork loin with a sharp knife, creating a grid pattern without cutting too deeply.
Rub the herb and garlic paste all over the pork loin, making sure to get the paste into the scored cuts for maximum flavor infusion.
Transfer the pork loin to a roasting pan, fat side up.
Roast in the preheated oven for approximately 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
Once cooked, remove the pork loin from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Slice and serve the herb and garlic roasted pork loin with your choice of Paleo-friendly side dishes.
