A flavorful and aromatic pork roast seasoned with a blend of herbs and spices, perfect for a hearty meal.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the dried thyme, dry mustard, celery seed, and garlic powder.
Crush the thyme leaves slightly between your fingers to release their aroma.
Rinse the pork loin under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.
Drying the pork helps the seasoning stick better.
Rub the herb mixture all over the pork loin, ensuring even coverage.
Press the seasoning firmly onto the meat for a flavorful crust.
Place the pork loin fat side up on a rack in a shallow roasting pan.
Using a rack allows air to circulate around the roast for even cooking.
Roast the pork in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Check the temperature in the thickest part of the meat for accuracy.
Remove the roast from the oven and tent it with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
Resting the meat allows the juices to redistribute, keeping it moist.
Slice the roast into even portions and serve.
Serve with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
