Mom’s Keto Pork Loin

An awesome marinade makes mom’s keto pork loin incredibly moist and incredibly delicious. This would make a great addition to your dinner recipe rotation!

Mom’s keto pork loin is juicy, tender, and amazingly flavorful. We bought a big pork loin, 8 pounds big😉, so we cut it in half. I came up with this recipe for my half, and my daughter, Rachael, made up a recipe for the other half. Hers is named Rachael’s herb roasted pork loin! Ha, we had dueling pork loins in the house, and we loved them both!

Let’s talk about the delicious marinade for this pork loin!

Marinating our pork loin gives it amazing flavor and makes the meat juicy and moist! We combine olive oil, Dijon mustard, tamari, keto brown sugar, lemon juice, garlic, chili powder, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika to create an amazing depth of flavor for our marinade. I use gluten free tamari in place of soy sauce. Although most tamari is gluten free, if you want to ensure yours is gluten free, you’ll want to read your labels. For the brown sugar, I use the Swerve brand. It contains zero calories and zero carbs, and it’s delicious. I used fresh lemon juice for my marinade, but you can use bottled if you’d like. I recommend you let your pork loin marinate for at least an hour. If possible, marinate for 6-8 hours or overnight for the best flavor.

Do you have any tips for making mom’s keto pork loin?

This is an easy dish to make, but I do have some tips to ensure your pork loin will turn out perfectly. Your marinade does most of the work for you, so once you’ve marinated your meat, the rest is a breeze. I like to take my meat out of the refrigerator and let it set while my oven is pre-heating to let it come closer to room temperature. To bake, simply remove your pork loin from the marinade and place it in a baking dish. Then pour all the marinade into the baking dish with the pork. You’ll then simply bake your pork loin until it reaches 150-160 degrees, depending on how you like yours cooked. Last, you’ll want to let your meat set for 5-10 minutes before slicing it.

How can I serve mom’s keto pork loin?

I like to serve my pork loin with some of the pan drippings either drizzled over the meat or served on the side for dipping the meat into! I don’t strain my drippings, but you can if you’d like. You have some great keto options to serve with this dish. You could serve it with some mashed cauliflower or mashed turnips. A side of cauliflower mac and cheese would be an awesome choice as well! You can also pair this dish with some of your favorite keto vegetables. Another option would be to serve this with some keto bread, biscuits, or English muffins.
