Pork Loin Roast
The tender pork loin roast is infused with minced garlic and freshly chopped rosemary leaves, creating a mouth-watering aroma that will fill your kitchen. The roast is then cooked to perfection, allowing the flavors to meld together and creating a delectable dish that is sure to impress.
One of the challenges with pork loin is keeping it moist and tender, but with our recipe, you'll have no worries. By rubbing the garlic and rosemary mixture all over the pork roast and cooking it at the right temperature, you can ensure that your pork loin roast is juicy and tender every time. Plus, we always recommend letting the meat rest before slicing. This retains moisture and gives you that tender moist slice every time.

How to Make a Pork Loin Roast with Garlic and Rosemary
Preheat your oven to 400°F/200°C.
In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, chopped rosemary leaves, and 2 tablespoons of your preferred cooking fat. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
Then rub the mixture of herbs and fat all over the roast. Place it into a baking dish fat side down.
Roast in the oven for 40 minutes. Then, turn the pork loin roast over so the fat side is facing up. Continue cooking for another 25 minutes, until it has reached 145°F internally at the thickest point.
Remove the roast from the oven and set it aside to rest for 10 minutes. Do not slice until the roast has rested.
While it rests, place the roasting pan or Dutch oven on medium heat on the cooktop. Heat the liquid in the pan, whisking in the remaining 1 tablespoon of cooking fat. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes to reduce.
Serve the sliced pork roast with sauce over the top.
