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.

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.
