Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Pork loin
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 1.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons Onion powder
- 1 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoons Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoons Dried rosemary
- 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, thyme, rosemary, kosher salt, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix thoroughly to create the dry rub.
Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps the rub adhere better.
Drizzle the pork loin with olive oil and rub it all over the surface to create a base for the dry rub to stick to.
Evenly coat the pork loin with the dry rub, using your hands to press the seasoning into the meat.
Place the seasoned pork loin on the prepared baking sheet, fat side up.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the pork reads 145°F (63°C).
Once the pork loin reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the oven and loosely tent it with foil. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes to redistribute the juices.
Slice the pork loin into 1/2-inch thick pieces and serve warm alongside your favorite side dishes.
