How to Cook Pork Loin in the Oven

If you’re unsure of how to cook pork loin, roasting is a great option. And, you actually don’t need to cook pork all the way through. Just be sure it’s cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F, and you’ll have a deliciously tender roast with a blush pink center!

Whether you’re cooking a pork loin roast, chicken drumsticks, or a Thanksgiving turkey, a simple meat thermometer is a solid investment. It’s not necessary, but it will give you peace of mind knowing your roast is entirely cooked through and safe to serve.

Plus, for easy family meals, boneless pork loin is an awesome and extremely affordable cut. To make this recipe, I was able to find a 2 pound boneless pork loin for under $9 per pound!

And, pork loin is packed with nutritious protein, micronutrients, and satiating fats. Whether you try this honey Dijon pork loin roast or want to cook one with YOUR favorite flavors, there are tons of possibilities for easy meal prep dinners that you can feel good about serving!
