AIP Friendly Garlic Herb Roast Pork Loin
A showstopping centerpiece roast doesn't have to mean a long list of questionable ingredients, and this herb-crusted pork loin proves exactly that. A paste of minced garlic, fresh rosemary, thyme, sage, ground ginger, and turmeric gets pressed into the meat before it hits a hot oven, building a deeply fragrant crust that fills the kitchen with the kind of smell that makes everyone wander in asking when dinner is ready. The two-stage roasting method — starting high to brown the exterior, then dropping the temperature to finish gently — keeps the loin juicy all the way through. What really elevates this dish is the pan sauce: bone broth, coconut aminos, and apple cider vinegar deglaze all those caramelized bits, and arrowroot starch thickens everything into a glossy, savory drizzle that ties the whole plate together. Every component here is carefully chosen to stay within the strict boundaries of the autoimmune protocol, skipping nightshades, grains, eggs, and dairy without sacrificing any of the richness you'd expect from a proper Sunday roast. Sliced into thick rounds and finished with a little fresh parsley, this makes a genuinely impressive meal for six that feels celebratory rather than restrictive.
