Instructions

Prepare the Oven

Make the Glaze

In a small bowl, combine maple syrup, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.

Pro tip: Mix until smooth and well combined.

Prepare the Pork

Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels. Place it in a roasting pan, fat side up.

Pro tip: This helps the glaze adhere better.

Apply the Glaze

Brush half of the glaze over the pork, ensuring it is well coated.

Pro tip: Reserve the remaining glaze for basting.

Roast the Pork

Place the pan in the oven and roast for 45 minutes.

Pro tip: Baste with remaining glaze every 15 minutes.

Check for Doneness

Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature; it should reach 63°C (145°F).

Pro tip: If needed, continue roasting and checking every 10 minutes.

Rest the Pork

Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

Pro tip: Resting allows juices to redistribute, making it juicier.
