Pork Roast with the World's Best Rub

This pork loin rub recipe is the best I have ever tasted! It's made with brown sugar, mustard, ginger, cayenne, cumin, thyme, and paprika. The dry rub penetrates all the way through and bakes into a sticky, sweet glaze.

Ingredients

½ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
¼ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1 (2 1/2 pound) boneless pork loin roast

Directions

Mix brown sugar, pepper, salt, garlic powder, mustard powder, ground ginger, onion powder, red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, cumin, paprika, and thyme in a bowl. Rub spice mixture over pork loin and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Place pork on a 9x13-inch baking dish and refrigerate for 4 hours to overnight.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove plastic wrap from pork and discard; return pork to baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven until pork is slightly pink in the center, about 50 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Cover pork loosely with aluminum foil and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
