Juicy Bacon Wrapped Pork Loin Roast Recipe

1. Preheat the oven to 190ºC or 375ºF.
2. Place the sliced carrot and onion evenly across the bottom of a baking pan to create a flavorful vegetable bed.
3. Season all sides of the pork loin thoroughly with salt, pepper, rosemary, and the crushed garlic.
4. Set the seasoned pork loin directly on top of the onions and carrots, then drizzle it generously with olive oil.
5. Wrap the bacon slices snugly around the pork loin, overlapping them slightly to fully enclose the meat, securing with toothpicks if needed, and dust the top with a final pinch of pepper.
6. Transfer to the oven and roast for about 50 minutes, checking halfway through to cover loosely with a sheet of aluminum foil if the bacon begins to toast too quickly.
7. Remove the roast from the oven once cooked through and let it rest for about 15 minutes before slicing to lock in all those delicious, savory juices.
