Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius (395 degrees Fahrenheit) and pat the 1.5 kg boneless pork loin roast dry with paper towels.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon ground smoked paprika, 1.5 teaspoons ground cardamom, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, and 0.5 teaspoon black pepper to create the aromatic spice rub.

3. 3

   Drizzle the pork loin with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then generously rub the entire surface of the pork loin with the prepared spice mixture, ensuring an even coating.

4. 4

   In a large oven-safe roasting pan, toss the 1 large red bell pepper, 1 large green bell pepper, 1 large yellow onion, and 2 celery stalks, all cut into 2.5 cm (1 inch) pieces, with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, then spread them in an even layer.

5. 5

   Place the seasoned pork loin on top of the vegetables in the roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for 60 to 75 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 63 degrees Celsius (145 degrees Fahrenheit).

6. 6

   Pour 120 ml of chicken broth into the bottom of the roasting pan around the pork loin during the last 15 minutes of roasting to keep the vegetables moist and create flavorful pan drippings.

7. 7

   Once cooked, carefully remove the pork loin from the oven, transfer it to a clean cutting board, cover it loosely with foil, and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute for a tender result.

8. 8

   Serve the sliced Cajun Cardamom Roasted Pork Loin immediately with the roasted vegetables and pan drippings from the roasting pan, enjoying the unique fusion of flavors.
