- 2 tablespoons of fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons of fresh thyme, finely chopped

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C)
- Prepare the roast by removing it from the refrigerator and letting it sit at room temperature for about 2 hours. This allows for even cooking.
- Season the roast generously with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, and olive oil. Rub this mixture all over the roast, ensuring it's well-coated.
- Place the roast on a roasting pan with a rack and put it in the preheated oven.
