Ingredients

• 4 lbs Pork loin roast
• 2 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Dried thyme
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
• 1 sprig Fresh rosemary (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme.

Step 3

Pat the pork roast dry with paper towels and rub the spice mixture all over the surface of the meat.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or roasting pan over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Sear the pork roast on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the roast from the heat and set aside.

Step 6

In another small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar to make the glaze.

Step 7

Brush the glaze generously over the seared pork roast, reserving a small amount for basting later.

Step 8

Place the skillet or roasting pan with the pork roast into the preheated oven and cook for 1 hour and 30 minutes, basting with the reserved glaze halfway through cooking, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 9

Remove the roast from the oven and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Allow the pork to rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Slice the pork roast and serve warm, garnished with fresh rosemary if desired.
