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

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels.
Rub the pork loin with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
In a small bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, parsley, rosemary, thyme, and minced garlic.
Press the herb mixture firmly onto all sides of the pork loin.
Place the pork loin in a roasting pan.
Roast for 20 minutes.
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.
After 20 minutes, brush half of the glaze over the pork loin.
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.
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.
