Delicious Pork Roast Dinner

Our easy and Delicious Pork Roast Dinner is served with tender roasted potatoes and baby carrots with a savory pork gravy, for the perfect family-style dinner! Did you know that a pork loin cut is low in calories and fat, but high in protein? Yes, it is, which definitely makes it a healthy and delicious dinner! I’ll show you how to make a juicy, tender pork roast by following these easy steps.

Here’s the pork roast with the roasted potatoes and carrots on a serving platter. The great thing about this roast is that it makes great sandwiches the next day.

If you’re watching your fat and calorie intake, but looking to add more protein to your diet, a pork loin roast is a really good choice!

So, let’s get cooking!

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

• Rinse the pork roast and pat dry with a paper towel. Put the pork roast fat-side up in a roasting pan and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Make small slits and press the garlic cloves in.

Pro Tip:

• This will ensure the garlic flavor is permeated throughout the pork roast.

• There’s no need to add water or cover the roast. Just place the pork roast in the preheated oven and bake for one hour per pound.
• The last 1 – 1 1/2 hours of cooking toss the quartered potatoes and baby carrots with the olive oil and place them in the pot. Cover and cook for an additional 1 – 1 1/2 hours.

Pro Tips:

• When done, the pork roast will be golden brown and there will be a broth in the bottom of the pan to make the gravy.
• Use a meat thermometer to check if the center temperature is at 145 degrees F, then allow the roast to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Gravy:

• Remove the pork roast, potatoes and baby carrots from the roasting pan and add 1 cup water to the pan. Place the pan over high heat and bring to a boil.
• Put the flour and additional 1/2 cup water in a small container and shake to mix well. Using a whisk, stir the flour-water mixture into the boiling pork broth and cook, stirring constantly, until the gravy is thickened. Remove from heat and add salt and pepper to taste.

Here’s our Delicious Pork Roast Dinner, served with homemade gravy, roasted potatoes and carrots. Yum, it’s so good! I hope you try our Delicious Pork Roast Dinner as a healthy and delicious meal one night.

Ingredients

• 4-5 lbs pork loin roast
• 5 cloves garlic
• 1 tsp salt, or to taste
• 1 tsp pepper, or to taste
• 5 small potatoes, cut in quarters
• 1/2 lb baby carrots
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Gravy:

• 1-2 cups water (start with 1 cup)
• 1/4 cup unbleached or all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup additional water
• salt to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

• Rinse the pork roast and pat dry with a paper towel. Put the pork roast fat-side up in a roasting pan and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Make small slits and press the garlic cloves in.
• There's no need to add water or cover the roast. Just place the pork roast in the preheated oven and bake for one hour per pound.
• The last 1 - 1 1/2 hours of cooking toss the quartered potatoes and baby carrots with the olive oil and place them in the pot. Cover and cook for an additional 1 - 1 1/2 hours.
• The pork roast will be golden brown when done and there will be some broth in the bottom of the pan to make the gravy.

Gravy:

• Remove the pork roast, potatoes and baby carrots from the roasting pan and add 1 cup water to the pan. Place the pan over high heat and bring to a boil.
• Put the flour and the additional 1/2 cup water in a small container and shake to mix well. Using a whisk, stir the flour-water mixture into the boiling pork broth and cook, stirring constantly, until the gravy is thickened. Remove from heat and add salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

You can also use 1 teaspoon garlic powder in place of the garlic cloves.

Use a meat thermometer to check if the center temperature is at 145 degrees F, then allow the roast to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. If you don't have a meat thermometer, the center of the roast should be white, with clear juices when cut into.

If the gravy is too thick with the first cup of water, add a little more water until desired thickness.
