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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps the rub adhere better.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Evenly coat the pork loin with the dry rub, using your hands to press the seasoning into the meat.

Step 6

Place the seasoned pork loin on the prepared baking sheet, fat side up.

Step 7

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).

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Slice the pork loin into 1/2-inch thick pieces and serve warm alongside your favorite side dishes.
