Recipe View Once cooked through, remove the pork loin from the oven and let it rest for at least 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more flavorful and tender roast. (15 minutes)

For an even more intense flavor, consider marinating the pork loin in the herb and garlic mixture for several hours or overnight before roasting.
If you prefer a crispier bacon topping, you can broil the pork loin for a few minutes at the end of cooking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Don't discard the pan drippings! They make a delicious gravy to serve alongside the pork loin.
Feel free to experiment with different herbs to create your own signature flavor profile. Rosemary, thyme, sage, and basil are classic choices, but oregano, marjoram, or even a pinch of red pepper flakes can add a unique twist.
Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad for a complete and satisfying meal.

    I've made this recipe several times, and it always turns out perfectly. The key is to use high-quality ingredients and to let the pork loin rest before carving. Highly recommend!

    The pearl onions were a delicious addition to this dish. They added a touch of sweetness and a nice textural contrast to the pork loin and bacon.
