Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, black pepper, dried rosemary, and dried thyme.

Rub the pork loin roast with olive oil, then coat evenly with the garlic and herb mixture.

Step 4

Place the pork in a roasting pan, surround it with chopped onions, carrots, and celery.

Step 5

Pour 1 cup of the unsalted chicken broth into the bottom of the roasting pan.

Step 6

Cover the pan with foil and roast in the preheated oven for 1.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 7

Remove the foil during the last 20 minutes of cooking for a crispy exterior.

Step 8

Once done, transfer the pork to a cutting board and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

Add the remaining 2 cups of unsalted chicken broth and low sodium soy sauce to the pan juices. Stir well to combine.

Strain the gravy through a fine-mesh sieve if a smoother texture is desired.

Step 14

Slice the roasted pork and serve with the prepared low sodium gravy.
