- Coat the roast in the seasoning mixture on all sides, pressing in as needed to adhere in an even coating.3-4 lb boneless pork loin
- Transfer the coated roast to a baking dish and bake at 350° for 60-75 minutes.
- Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for a full 10-15 minutes.
- Slice, serve warm, and enjoy!
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer to make sure the pork is done. Keep in mind the pork's internal temperature will continue to rise after you take it out of the oven.
- Make sure to let the meat rest so the juices get a chance to redistribute and the proteins relax.
- Don't confuse dill seed with dill weed. The two spices taste different and will change the taste of your roast.
