Delicious Herb Crusted Pork Loin: 1 Amazing Recipe

A succulent pork loin coated in a flavorful herb crust and finished with a sweet and tangy apple cider glaze. This dish is perfect for a special occasion or a comforting weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (3-pound) boneless pork loin roast
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup apple cider
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels.
  3. Rub the pork loin with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  4. In a small bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, parsley, rosemary, thyme, and minced garlic.
  5. Press the herb mixture firmly onto all sides of the pork loin.
  6. Place the pork loin in a roasting pan.
  7. Roast for 20 minutes.
  8. While the pork is roasting, whisk together apple cider, Dijon mustard, and honey in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes, until slightly thickened.
  9. After 20 minutes, brush half of the glaze over the pork loin.
  10. Continue roasting for another 20-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Brush with the remaining glaze during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
  11. Let the pork loin rest for 10 minutes before carving.

Notes

For a crispier crust, you can broil the pork loin for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
If you dont have fresh herbs, you can use 1 tablespoon of dried mixed herbs.
Adjust the sweetness of the glaze by adding more or less honey.
