Looking for a quick dinner win? This tasty marinated pork roast keeps carbs low but flavor high—perfect when you need something filling without kitchen hassle. Back home in the Midwest, we'd always have pork roast at family get-togethers. I've always thought a good soak in the right mix can turn basic meat into something amazing. If you want to watch your carbs but still enjoy mouthwatering meals, this dish hits the spot.

The first time I whipped up this roast was for some friends who dropped by unexpectedly—all following keto eating plans. Everyone loved it so much that now it's what I reach for whenever I need a foolproof main dish that makes everyone happy.

Garlic makes this dish special. My grandma taught me to chop it super fine and let it sit about 10 minutes before adding it to the marinade mix. This wakes up the allicin that gives garlic its knockout flavor and health perks. Whenever I cook this roast, the smell of herbs and garlic takes me straight back to those big Sunday meals in her country kitchen.

Common Questions

→ What keeps this pork roast low carb?

The dish stays low in carbs because the marinade doesn't have any sugar or high-carb items in it.

→ Can I use something other than pork loin?

Sure, try pork tenderloin or a bone-in cut instead, but you might need to cook it longer or shorter.

→ What should I serve with this roast?

Try some cooked Brussels sprouts, crisp green salad, mashed cauliflower, or cooked green beans for good low-carb sides.

→ How much time should I leave for marinating?

Give it at least 2 hours in the marinade, but letting it sit overnight will make it taste even better.

→ Can I mix up the marinade flavors?

Definitely! Try some balsamic vinegar for a touch of sweetness or add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick. Fresh herbs like parsley or basil can brighten it up too.

→ When is the pork fully cooked?

Cook your pork until it reaches 145°F (63°C) inside for the best mix of juiciness and food safety.

What You'll Need

→ Marinade

01 2 lb pork loin roast
02 1/4 cup olive oil
03 2 tablespoons soy sauce
04 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
05 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
06 3 cloves garlic, minced
07 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
08 1 teaspoon dried thyme
09 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
10 1/2 teaspoon salt

How to Make It

Step 01

Grab a small bowl and stir together the oil, soy sauce, vinegar, mustard, minced garlic, and all your dried herbs with the salt and pepper until smooth.

Step 02

Toss your pork into a big ziplock bag or flat container. Pour your flavor mix all over it, making sure it's totally covered. Zip it up or put a lid on it and stick it in the fridge for at least 2 hours, but leaving it overnight works even better.

Step 03

Turn your oven on to 375°F (190°C) and let it warm up.

Step 04

Take the pork out of its marinade bath and put it in your roasting pan. Just throw away whatever marinade is left.

Step 05

Stick the pork in your hot oven and let it cook for about 45-60 minutes. You'll know it's done when the inside hits 145°F (63°C).

Step 06

Pull it out and don't cut it right away. Let it sit for 10 minutes first, then slice it up and dig in!

Additional Tips

  1. Soaking the meat overnight really amps up the taste.
  2. Try adding a splash of balsamic or some red pepper flakes to change up the flavor.
