"I love this herbed roast so much that I make it as often as I can," says Edie DeSpain of Logan, Utah. "It's wonderful for special occasions, particularly when served with sweet potatoes and corn muffins." It makes a lot, so you'll have leftover pork for the two reader recipes that follow.

My husband and I loved this I changed out the salt for seasoning salt and it was really good!

This was tasty and very easy. It wasn't blow your mind different so I gave it 4 stars! But very good...after rubbing on the herb mixture I put it in the fridge for 2 hours, and it made the flavour more intense. Filled the house with a very nice smell while baking, not overwhelming!!! Would definitely make this again because it is very versatile and would go with any side dishes.

I used the rub on a pork loin roast. So simple, so easy and so company good.

I made this for New Years Day. I added an extra step, I made a few holes in the roast and cut up some garlic and put it inside the holes. I do this for any roast I make, it just makes the meat more tender. Aside from that, I followed the reccipe to the T. This was the best pork roast I have ever made. Full of flavor. Everyone loved it and it was so easy.

I added a 1/2 tsp. dill to the seasonings and then mixed it all with a few tablespoons of olive oil before rubbing it on the roast. Served it with pumpkin rice. Delish!

This rub is so tasty! We are not huge pork fans, but this made it so great!

Very tasty - the seasoning was subtle and make a nice coating for the roast. I used 1/2 tsp of garlic powder rather than a clove.

This made the house smell so comfy cozy! It turned out very moist and had an incredible flavor. I paired it with the golden corn casserole from TOH and the red cabbage slaw.
