While pork shoulder is one of the easiest cuts of meat to cook, successfully cooking a lean pork loin is much more challenging. When roasting lean tender cuts of meat the best method to ensure moisture retention is to use a Convection mode and a low temperature.



Using your oven Meat Probe (if equipped) will definitely help you avoid overcooking the meat.  It’s quite safe to target a slightly lower internal temperature as the internal temperature of the meat will rise during the recommended resting time of 12 - 15 minutes.


Allow approximately 35 - 40 minutes cooking time for a 2-2.5lb roast, increase the temperature for the final 10 - 12  minutes of cooking time. When the oven temperature is increased add the vegetables and cook them for 20 - 25 minutes. By the time the meat has rested and been sliced everything will be ready to serve at the same time.


Ingredients


1 boneless pork loin roast 2 - 2.5lbs

1 tsp Kosher salt

1 tbsp mild chili spice rub

1 tsp olive oil


Optional - Roasted Apples

2 Granny Smith apples, core removed, cut into large 2” chunks

½ medium yellow onion, cut into 2” chunks

½ tbsp dried thyme

1 tbsp olive oil



Preparation


Heat the oven in the Convection Roast or Convection Bake mode 320 degrees.

Combine the seasonings and oil and rub into the pork loin and place the roast on a rack in a shallow pan.  If using the oven Meat Probe, insert the sensor into the meat then slide the pan onto the center rack of the oven. If roasting the apples, they can placed around the pork or cooked in a separate pan.


To program the Meat Probe, touch the probe symbol or icon and program to 140 degrees and set the oven timer for 25 minutes.  When the timer has elapsed, increase the oven temperature to 375 degrees and slide the vegetables onto the lower rack under the meat.


Remove the pork loin when the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees and set it aside to rest for 10 - 12 minutes before slicing.
