Ingredients
  

  • 1 4-5 lb pork loin roast
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
  • 1 tbsp fresh sage chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth or white wine for extra flavor
  • 1 tbsp butter optional, for basting

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, mix Dijon mustard, honey, garlic, rosemary, thyme, sage, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
  • Coat the pork: Pat the pork roast dry with paper towels, rub it with olive oil, then coat it evenly with the glaze mixture.
  • Roast: Place the pork in a roasting pan and pour chicken broth (or wine) into the pan to keep the meat moist.
  • Bake: Roast uncovered for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  • Baste & Rest: Halfway through cooking, baste the pork with its juices. Once cooked, remove from the oven, tent with foil, and let rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
  • Serve: Slice and enjoy with roasted potatoes, steamed asparagus, or a fresh spring salad!
