👉🏻✨DIRECTIONS:

1. Prepare Marinade: Place the garlic cloves, rosemary, and thyme in a roasting pan. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with a little sea salt, and toss to combine. Set aside.

2. Marinate Pork Rack: Pat the pork rack dry with kitchen paper towels. Sprinkle sea salt and black pepper evenly on both sides. Place the pork rack on top of the marinade, ensuring the garlic and herbs fully cover the surface. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight in the refrigerator for maximum flavor.

3. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F).

4. Roast Pork Rack: Place the marinated pork rack, along with the marinade, in the preheated oven and roast for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the thickness of the pork rack and personal preference. Turn the pork rack once during roasting to ensure even cooking.

5. Check Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to insert into the thickest part of the pork rack. The internal temperature should reach 71°C (160°F) or above for safe consumption. Remove and let it rest for 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

6. Garnish and Serve: Place the roasted pork rack on a serving plate, garnish with lemon slices, and serve with roasted vegetables.
