Preparation

Step 1

TIPS FOR MAKING YOUR GARLIC PORK LOIN ROAST:
Make sure you are cooking it with the white fat cap side up.
To have seasonings adhere even more you can score the top with your knife in an x pattern. You don’t have to cut very deeply, just enough to create grooves the seasonings can sit in.
Cook on high heat.
You can add vegetables or apples onto the sides, but beware this will increase cooking time as it will keep some of the heat from cooking the pork.
A quick and easy side side instead of serving applesauce with your pork would be adding apples. I added 3 quartered Granny Smith apples and let it roast along side the pork.

DIRECTIONS:
Add the pork loin to your baking pan.
Coat with the garlic on top of the fat cap.
Mix the seasonings (salt, pepper and paprika) in small bowl and rub it on the pork.
Cook the pork for 60-75 minutes or until it has reached a temperature of 150-160 degrees.
Remove from the oven and let rest for five minutes before serving.
