Ingredients

• 3 lb Pork loin roast
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 4 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tbsp Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tbsp Fresh thyme, chopped
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Lemon zest
• 1 cup Chicken broth

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest to form a thick herb paste.

Step 3

Pat the pork loin roast dry with paper towels. Rub the herb paste generously all over the roast, ensuring it is evenly coated on all sides.

Step 4

Place the seasoned pork in a roasting pan fitted with a rack. Add the chicken broth to the bottom of the pan to prevent the drippings from burning and to create a flavorful base for a potential pan sauce.

Step 5

Roast the pork in the preheated oven until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for a slightly pink center, about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to ensure accurate cooking.

Step 6

Baste the pork with the pan juices every 30 minutes to enhance the flavor and keep the meat moist.

Step 7

Once done, remove the pork from the oven and tent it with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 15 minutes before carving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 8

Slice the pork roast into 1/2-inch thick slices and serve with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes. Optionally, use the pan juices as a light gravy.
