Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  6. Roast for 15 minutes at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  7. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  8. Continue roasting until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), which usually takes about 15-20 minutes per pound.
  9. Remove the roast from the oven.
  10. Tent the pork loosely with foil and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
  11. Slice and serve your delicious roast.

Notes

  • For best results, allow the pork to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before seasoning.
  • If you prefer a crispier exterior, you can briefly sear the pork loin on all sides in a hot skillet before applying the rub and roasting.
  • Use fresh herbs for the strongest flavor.
