Maple-Baked Pork Loin Roast

Ingredients

• 1 boneless pork loin roast , 4 pound
• salt and pepper to taste
• all-purpose flour for dredging
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 0.75 cups maple syrup
• 0.75 cups ketchup
• 0.33 cups water
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Season pork roast with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour; shake off excess.

2. 2

   Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until smoking. Add roast and sear in hot oil until browned on all sides, about 1 minute per side. Transfer roast to a large sheet of aluminum foil set on top of a baking sheet.

3. 3

   Stir together maple syrup, ketchup, water, and garlic. Pour 3/4 of the maple syrup sauce over pork. Fold the foil around pork and seal to form a packet.

4. 4

   Bake in the preheated oven until the internal temperature reaches 170 degrees F (75 degrees C), about 2 hours.

5. 5

   Remove from the oven and carefully open the foil packet. Turn on the broiler and broil roast for a few minutes until the sauce glazes the meat. Serve roast with remaining sauce.
