How to Cook Pork Loin Roast
This easy pork loin roast recipe has just a few steps to prep and get in the oven to bake. The first step for this pork loin recipe is to prepare the roast. The roast should be ready to go from the butcher, if not, trim off any excess fat before seasoning.
Prepare the roast by seasoning liberally on each side with salt and pepper.
In a large cast iron pan or skillet, heat olive oil and sear the roast on each side. You want the pork roast to be just browned on east side, so sear it for 3-4 minutes on each side.
Once your roast is seared, add in the vegetables, drizzle with the orange glaze and place in a 350ºF oven.
How Long to Cook Pork Loin Roast
Once you have placed your pork roast in the oven, you will want to roast it for 15-20 minutes per pound. The roast used for this recipe was 2 1/2 pounds and took about 40 minutes to cook to an internal temperature of 145ºF.
For tender, juicy pork cook the roast until the internal temperature reaches 145ºF. The best way to measure the temperature is with an instant read thermometer. If you would like your roast to be more well done, you can cook it to 165ºF.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow to rest at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

This is delicious! I used fresh broccoli instead of Brussels sprouts because that’s what I had on hand. I left everything else the same. I will make this again I’m sure. Thank you! Such a tasty flavor.
