Ingredients

• 1 kg Peameal bacon roast
• 60 ml Maple syrup
• 30 ml Dijon mustard
• 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 15 ml Olive oil
• 125 ml Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Place the peameal bacon roast in a roasting pan with a rack to lift it slightly off the bottom of the pan.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, olive oil, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 4

Brush the maple glaze generously all over the peameal bacon roast, ensuring it is coated evenly.

Step 5

Place the fresh rosemary sprigs around the roast in the pan.

Step 6

Add the water to the bottom of the roasting pan to keep the roast moist and prevent it from drying out.

Step 7

Cover the roast loosely with aluminum foil and place it in the oven.

Step 8

Roast the peameal bacon for 60 minutes, basting it with the pan juices every 20 minutes.

Step 9

After 60 minutes, remove the foil and brush the roast with additional glaze from the pan.

Step 10

Increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) and roast for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and caramelized.

Step 11

Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the roast reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 12

Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 13

Slice the roast into thick slices and serve warm. Pair it with roasted vegetables or your favorite side dishes.
