Ingredients
- 2 pounds Pork loin roast
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
Step 2
Pat the pork loin roast dry with paper towels, then season it all over with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the Dijon mustard with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Brush this mixture evenly over the entire surface of the pork loin.
Step 4
In a medium bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, parsley, garlic, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
Step 5
Press the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture onto the pork loin, ensuring it adheres well and forms an even crust.
Step 6
Place the crusted pork loin on the prepared baking sheet. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the meat, being careful not to hit any bone.
Step 7
Roast the pork loin in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Step 8
Remove the pork roast from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute and keeps the meat tender.
Step 9
Slice the roast into even portions, ensuring each piece has a bit of the crispy crust. Serve immediately and enjoy!
