This juicy marinated pork roast keeps carbs low but flavor high, making it perfect for crazy weeknights when you need something filling and tasty without camping in the kitchen. Being raised in the Midwest, our family gatherings always featured pork roasts, and I've come to appreciate how a simple marinade can turn basic meat into something memorable. Anyone watching their carbs but craving a mouthwatering meal will love this dish.

I whipped up this roast when some friends following keto diets dropped by unexpectedly for dinner. Everyone raved about it so much that it's now my trusted go-to whenever I need to serve something that'll make everyone happy around the table.

Garlic is the hidden champion in this dish. My grandma taught me to chop it super fine and let it rest about 10 minutes before adding it to marinades. This wakes up the allicin that gives garlic its amazing taste and health perks. The smell of herbs and garlic cooking always brings back memories of sitting in her farmhouse kitchen during those special Sunday meals.

Ingredients List

→ Marinade

01 2 lb pork loin roast
02 1/4 cup olive oil
03 2 tablespoons soy sauce
04 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
05 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
06 3 cloves garlic, minced
07 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
08 1 teaspoon dried thyme
09 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
10 1/2 teaspoon salt

Detailed Cooking Steps

Step 01

Grab a small bowl and stir the olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, rosemary, thyme, black pepper, and salt until everything's combined.

Step 02

Drop your pork loin into a big ziplock bag or flat container. Pour all that tasty mix over the meat, making sure it's totally covered. Close it up tight or wrap the dish and stick it in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Leaving it overnight works even better.

Step 03

Turn your oven on to 375°F (190°C) and let it warm up.

Step 04

Take the pork out from the marinade mix and put it in your roasting dish. Just throw away whatever marinade is left.

Step 05

Stick the pork in your hot oven and let it cook for about 45-60 minutes. You'll know it's done when the temperature inside hits 145°F (63°C).

Step 06

After cooking, don't cut it right away. Let it sit for 10 minutes first. Then slice it up and dig in!

Helpful Hints

  1. The meat tastes way better when you let it soak in the marinade all night.
  2. You can switch things up by adding some balsamic or red pepper flakes to change the taste.
