Spiced Rubbed Pork Loin Roast

Honestly, I don't really love pork roast but this spice rub is delicious and would be great on chicken or turkey too. I think next time I will follow this exact recipe but use a turkey roast instead.

Ingredients:

1  tablespoon ground cumin

1  tablespoon brown sugar

2  teaspoons chili powder

1  teaspoon ground cinnamon

1  teaspoon red pepper flakes

1  teaspoon coarse salt

1  teaspoon ground black pepper

1  2-pound boneless pork top loin roast (single loin)

Directions

In a small screw-top jar combine cumin, brown sugar, chili powder, cinnamon, red pepper flakes, coarse salt and black pepper. Cover and shake well to combine. Remove 2 tablespoons for this recipe. Store remaining rub, covered, at room temperature for up to 1 month.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Trim fat from pork roast. Rub 2 tablespoons seasonings blend over all surfaces of the pork roast. Place roast on a rack in a shallow pan and insert an oven-going thermometer. Roast for 1 hour or until thermometer registers 155 degrees F. Remove from oven. Cover meat with foil; let stand 15 minutes. The temperature of the meat after standing should be 160 degrees
