Ingredients
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
4 pounds bone-in pork loin roast
1 tablespoon oil
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Place the pork loin roast on a cutting board and pat it dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped fresh rosemary, salt, and black pepper to create a rub.
Rub the oil all over the surface of the pork loin, then generously apply the garlic-rosemary mixture to coat the entire roast, pressing gently so the seasonings adhere.
Transfer the pork loin to a roasting pan. Roast in the preheated oven for approximately 60 to 75 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F when measured at the thickest part of the roast with a meat thermometer.
Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring tender, moist slices.
Carve the roast into serving portions and serve warm with pan drippings spooned over each slice if desired.
Comments
This is a straightforward winner for a Charlotte weeknight or weekend dinner: pork loin is reliably available and affordable at every major chain, and garlic and rosemary are staples in every supermarket produce and herb section. The stated 90 minutes is honest—about 15 minutes of prep (mincing garlic, stripping rosemary, scoring the fat) plus 75 minutes hands-off roasting, making it genuinely low-effort cooking. At roughly $2 to $2.50 per serving for the protein alone, this feeds a family of eight without breaking the budget, reheats beautifully, and requires no special stops. The only caveat is that fresh rosemary can vary in availability between seasons; in winter, dried rosemary works just as well, though fresh is almost always stocked at Harris Teeter and Food Lion.
