It is almost effortless to make a tender, juicy pork loin roast with a simple herb rub that coats the roast in beautiful flavors. I browned and seared the roast in a frying pan or skillet to lock in the juices and then baked in the oven until done to perfection.
The browning step can be skipped, but I think it makes a difference in the boldness of the flavors and tenderness of the roast.
But sometimes in a rush, I have skipped it and just turned on the broiler to brown the last few minutes of roasting. I do prefer to pan-sear it before baking, however.
This roast is excellent served with steamed asparagus, cauliflower mash, or other low-carb vegetables.

This was excellent! Loved the flavors!
I seared the meat in an oven proof pan so I was able to keep all the goodness in one dish. Once cooked, I deglazed the pan with some liquid and got a delicious sauce to serve with meat.
