A flavorful and aromatic pork loin roast, perfect for family dinners or special occasions.
Combine the minced garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, dried sage, dried thyme, smoked paprika, and olive oil in a mixing bowl to create a paste.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Rub the herb mixture evenly over the pork loin, covering all sides.
Use your hands or a brush to ensure the rub adheres well to the meat.
Cover the seasoned pork loin and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
Marinating overnight allows the flavors to deeply penetrate the meat.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before placing the pork inside for even cooking.
Place the pork loin on a rack in a roasting pan.
Using a rack helps air circulate around the meat for even cooking.
Roast the pork loin in the preheated oven until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C), about 1 hour and 25 minutes.
Check the temperature in the thickest part of the meat to ensure it is fully cooked.
Let the pork rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the meat more tender.
