Roasted Pork Loin. Boneless pork loin roasted seasoned with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano and baked alongside potatoes and carrots.
Roasted pork loin is a weekly occurrence in my house. A boneless loin of pork is very versatile so I like to have one on-hand all the time. I will buy a large pork loin, about 5-7 pounds and use it for several meals.
From the large pork loin I will break down the pork into smaller portions, usually, one 3-pound pork loin roast, 4-6 boneless pork chops, and 1-2 pounds of pork stew meat. So, from 1 large pork loin I have 3-4 meals. I will freeze whatever I am not using in the next day or two.
This roasted pork loin recipe is the easiest preparation of the pork loin, in my opinion.

How to Make Roasted Pork Loin

Invent Your Recipe:
You can season this pork roast with just about anything you want. I have used Italian seasoning, butter, lemon, honey, BBQ sauce, and marinara sauce in the past. They all work well, but are not to everyone’s liking. I really enjoy eating pork prepared this way, the roast always turns out juicy and tender.
I do not always cook this recipe with vegetable on the side. It is entirely up to you. Keep the vegetables, changes up the vegetables you use, or remove them all together.
