Roasting Pork

Roasting, very similar to baking, is a method of cooking pork in the oven in a shallow, uncovered pan, and without adding liquid to the pan.

This recipe is a lifesaver and could possibly be the easiest dinner you’ll make. All you need is a pork loin roast, a quick wet rub, and you’re on your way to a melt-in-your-mouth dinner. Start by preheating the oven to 350°F. To create the savory wet rub, combine 2 tablespoons garlic (minced), 1 tablespoon oregano leaves (crushed), 2 teaspoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon Dijon (style mustard), 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Apply the wet rub to all sides of the loin. Cook for 20 minutes per pound or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. (This is important! Don’t overcook your pork!) Pair with a side of veggies and devour!

Any cut of pork can be roasted at 350° F unless otherwise noted.
