• 0.5 cups brown sugar

• 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
• 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoons onion powder

Instructions

1. 1

   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.

2. 2

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove plastic wrap from pork and discard; return pork to baking dish.

3. 3

   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.
