Here’s a simple and juicy Pork Loin Roast recipe that’s perfect for family dinners or a special meal 🍖✨
🐖 Pork Loin Roast
🧾 Ingredients
- 1.5–2 kg pork loin
- 3–4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika or smoked paprika
- 1 tsp dried rosemary or thyme (or a mix)
- Optional: 1 tbsp Dijon mustard or honey for glaze
👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat oven
- Set to 180°C (350°F).
- Prepare pork
- Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels.
- Mix garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and herbs into a paste.
- Rub all over the pork.
- Optional glaze
- Brush mustard or honey over the pork for extra flavor and browning.
- Roast
- Place pork on a roasting rack or baking tray.
- Roast for 1–1.5 hours, or until internal temperature reaches 63°C (145°F).
- Rest
- Let the pork rest 10–15 minutes before slicing. This keeps it juicy.
- Serve
- Slice and serve with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.
🌟 Tips
- Crispier crust: Sear pork in a hot pan 2–3 minutes per side before roasting.
- Flavor variations: Add garlic cloves and onion around the pork while roasting.
- Gravy: Use pan drippings with a bit of stock to make a simple gravy.
If you want, I can give you a garlic-herb butter crust version or a slow-cooker tender version that’s extra juicy and pull-apart soft 😋
