Ingredients

• 2 pounds pork loin roast
• 6 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
• 4 sprigs fresh thyme
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1.5 teaspoons sea salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 yellow onion
• 3 carrots
• 1 cup chicken broth (Whole30-compliant)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pat the pork loin roast dry with paper towels and set it aside.

Step 3

Mince the garlic cloves finely and strip the rosemary and thyme leaves from their stems. Chop the herbs finely.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped rosemary and thyme, olive oil, lemon zest, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix into a paste.

Step 5

Rub the garlic-herb mixture all over the pork loin, ensuring it's evenly coated.

Step 6

Peel and quarter the onion and slice the carrots into thick rounds.

Step 7

In a roasting pan or baking dish, spread the onion quarters and carrot slices to form a bed for the pork.

Step 8

Place the seasoned pork loin on top of the vegetables. Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the pan to keep the meat moist during roasting.

Step 9

Transfer the roasting pan to the preheated oven and cook for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reads 145°F (63°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.

Step 10

Once done, remove the pork roast from the oven and loosely cover it with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 10 minutes to retain its juices.

Step 11

Slice the pork loin into 1/2-inch thick slices and serve with the roasted vegetables. Optionally, drizzle some pan juices over the meat for added flavor.
