Ingredients

• 4 pounds Pork loin roast
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 4 pieces Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary
• 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 4 cups Vegetables (carrots, onions, and potatoes)
• 1 cup Chicken broth

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, chopped garlic, rosemary, and thyme.

Step 3

Rub the pork loin roast with olive oil followed by the herb and garlic mixture, ensuring even coverage.

Step 4

Place the seasoned pork roast in a roasting pan, fat side up.

Step 5

In another small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar. Brush this glaze over the pork roast.

Step 6

Surround the roast with chopped vegetables (such as carrots, onions, and potatoes) for a complete meal.

Step 7

Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the roasting pan to keep the vegetables moist and to create flavorful pan drippings.

Step 8

Transfer the roasting pan to the oven and cook for about 90 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C). Add more chicken broth as needed to prevent drying.

Step 9

Baste the roast with pan juices every 20 minutes for added flavor and moisture.

Step 10

Once cooked, remove the roast and vegetables from the oven. Let the pork rest for 10 minutes before slicing to retain its juices.

Step 11

Slice the pork roast and serve with the roasted vegetables on the side.
