- 2 lbs pork loin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Let’s get cooking! Here’s how you can whip up this dish with ease. Remember, perfection isn’t the goal—just a delicious meal cooked with love.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels. This helps the seasonings stick and gives you that beautiful crust.
- In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and thyme. Rub this mixture all over the pork loin.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork loin on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Transfer the pork to the prepared roasting pan. In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, and honey. Pour this mixture over the pork.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 40-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Baste the pork occasionally with the pan juices.
- Remove from the oven, tent with foil, and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This step is crucial for juicy, tender meat.
