Ingredients

• 3 pounds boneless pork loin roast
• 2 tablespoons Chinese five spice powder
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the Chinese five spice powder, brown sugar, kosher salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.

Step 3

Pat the boneless pork loin roast dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help the seasoning stick better.

Step 4

Rub the olive oil evenly over all sides of the pork roast.

Step 5

Generously coat the pork roast with the five spice mixture, patting it onto the surface to adhere.

Step 6

Place the seasoned pork roast on a roasting rack in a shallow baking dish, fat side up.

Step 7

Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast, ensuring it does not touch bone or fat.

Step 8

Roast the pork in the preheated oven for about 75-90 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 9

Once the temperature is reached, remove the pork roast from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Step 10

Slice the pork roast into 1/2-inch thick slices and serve hot. Pair with your favorite side dishes like roasted vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.
