Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels.

Rub the pork loin with olive oil, garlic, salt, and black pepper.

Sprinkle chopped rosemary and thyme evenly over the pork loin.

Place the pork loin in a roasting pan with onion, carrots, and potatoes around it.

Pour chicken broth into the bottom of the pan.

Roast in the preheated oven for 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Baste the pork with pan juices every 20 minutes for even cooking.

Remove the pork from the oven and tent loosely with foil; let it rest for 10-15 minutes.

Meanwhile, deglaze the roasting pan with red wine, scraping up any browned bits.

Stir in mustard and honey to create a sauce; simmer until slightly thickened.

Slice the pork loin against the grain and serve with the roasted vegetables and sauce.
