Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, smoked paprika, black pepper, and kosher salt.
Use a whisk or fork to thoroughly mix all the ingredients until the spices are evenly distributed.
Pat the pork roast dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps the rub adhere better.
Generously rub the spice mixture all over the pork roast, making sure to press it in so it sticks well to the surface.
For best results, wrap the seasoned pork roast in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
Before cooking, remove the pork roast from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Cook the pork roast according to your preferred method, such as roasting, smoking, or grilling, and enjoy the bold, spicy flavors of the rub.
