Ingredients

• 1.5 kilograms boneless pork loin
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1.5 teaspoons sea salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 500 grams red potatoes
• 2 medium zucchini
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 medium onion
• 1 teaspoon paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, oregano, lemon juice, lemon zest, sea salt, and black pepper to make a fragrant herb paste.

Step 3

Pat the pork loin dry with a paper towel and rub the herb paste evenly all over the meat. Let it sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 4

Chop the red potatoes, zucchini, red bell pepper, and onion into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large bowl.

Step 5

Drizzle the vegetables with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, season with paprika, sea salt, and black pepper, and toss to coat evenly.

Step 6

Place the pork loin on a roasting rack in a roasting pan. Arrange the seasoned vegetables around the bottom of the pan.

Step 7

Roast the pork loin in the preheated oven for approximately 75-90 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 63°C (145°F) for medium doneness.

Step 8

Halfway through the cooking process, stir the vegetables and check for even roasting.

Step 9

Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Serve the pork loin slices with the roasted vegetables on the side for a Mediterranean feast.
