1 tsp rubbed sage
1 1/4 tsp salt, divided
1/2 tsp pepper, divided
1 boneless pork loin roast (3- to 4-pounds)

Steps:

1. In a small bowl, combine caraway seeds, sage, 1 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper; rub over roast. Place roast on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 2 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 160 to 170 degrees. Remove roast from pan; keep warm.
