Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork loin (boneless)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.33 cup pure maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Trim any excess fat from the pork loin and pat it dry with paper towels. Brush the pork loin evenly with olive oil.
Season the pork loin on all sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to enhance its flavor.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar to create the glaze. Set aside.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork loin on all sides for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. This helps lock in the moisture and flavor.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven, or if using a roasting pan, carefully transfer the pork loin to the pan.
Roast the pork loin uncovered for 25 minutes. Remove it from the oven and brush a generous amount of the maple mustard glaze over the top and sides.
Return the pork loin to the oven and roast for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
Remove the pork loin from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the meat tender and flavorful.
Slice the pork loin into 1/2-inch thick slices and drizzle with any remaining glaze from the skillet or roasting pan. Garnish with fresh rosemary if desired.
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
