Super Tender Roasted Boneless Pork Loin

Gather the ingredients.

About 30 minutes before you plan to start roasting, take 1 (3 to 4-pound, boneless, center-cut) pork loin out of the fridge and let it sit at room temperature. Preheat the oven to 450 F.

In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil , 4 to 5 cloves garlic (minced) , 1 tablespoon kosher salt , 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper , 1 tablespoon fresh sage (minced) , 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (finely chopped) , and 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (finely chopped) , and mix until a paste forms.

Dry the pork loin with paper towels and rub it all over with the seasoning paste. Set it on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Insert an oven-safe meat thermometer into the very center of the roast at a slight angle. If you're using a digital thermometer with a temperature alert function, set it to 135 F. Transfer the pork to the oven.

Roast for 15 minutes, then turn the oven temperature down to 300 F. Let the loin continue roasting for another 40 to 60 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 135 F.

Take the roast out of the oven and cover it with foil. Let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes; during this time, the roast's internal temperature will increase to around 140 F, which means it is ready to slice.
