Herb-Roasted Pork

Recipe View 5 mins Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). (5 minutes)

Recipe View 10 mins In a small bowl, create a fragrant rub by combining the rubbed sage, crushed garlic, salt, and black pepper. Generously massage this mixture all over the pork loin, ensuring every surface is coated. Place the seasoned pork in a roasting pan fitted with a rack. (10 minutes)

Recipe View 2 hrs 30 mins Roast the pork loin in the preheated oven on the center rack, uncovered, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) for medium doneness. This will take approximately 2.5 to 3 hours, depending on your oven and desired level of doneness. For a slightly pink center, aim for 145°F; for well-done, aim for 160°F.

Recipe View 15 mins While the pork roasts, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the granulated sugar, apple cider vinegar, water, low-sodium soy sauce, and cornstarch. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the glaze begins to bubble and thicken slightly, creating a glossy sheen. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm. (15 minutes)

Recipe View 30 mins During the last 30 minutes of cooking, brush the pork loin with the glaze every 10 minutes, allowing the sugars to caramelize and create a beautiful, flavorful crust. (30 minutes)

Recipe View 15 mins Once the pork reaches your desired internal temperature, remove it from the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast. (15 minutes)
