Ingredients

Scale

1 (4-6 bone) frenched pork rack, about 2–3 pounds

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to create a paste.

3. Rub the herb paste all over the pork rack, ensuring an even coating.

4. Place the pork rack in a roasting pan, bone side down.

5. Roast in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.

6. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10-15 minutes before carving into individual chops.

7. Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy!

Notes

Success Tips: Let the pork rest after roasting to retain its juices. Use a meat thermometer to ensure accurate doneness.

Pairing Suggestions: Serve with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
