Mexican Spice Rubbed Pork Roast

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 to 2 lb. sirloin tip pork roast
• 2 tbl. brown sugar
• 2 tsp. kosher salt
• 2 tsp. chili powder
• 1 1/2 tsp. cumin

• 1/2 tsp. onion powder
• 1/2 tsp. freshly cracked black pepper

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a small baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack over it.
2. Combine all the spices in a small bowl. Add the olive oil and stir well to combine. It will be a thick, paste-like consistency. Allow this mixture to rest for 15 minutes.
