ORANGE-CINNAMON PORK SIRLOIN ROAST

Orange-Cinnamon Pork Sirloin Roast image

This pork roast combines a little bit of sweet with the salty. I use pork sirloin because I feel like it comes out a little bit more moist, but it will work with tenderloin as well.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons grated orange zest
1 teaspoon ground paprika
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (2 1/2 pound) boneless pork sirloin roast

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Combine olive oil, orange zest, paprika, cinnamon, cumin, and pepper in a small bowl; mix to form a paste.
Apply paste to the top and sides of the roast. Feel free to apply all around the roast if desired. Place pork in a roasting pan.
Roast in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the roast reads 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), 40 to 50 minutes.
Remove from the oven and tent with foil. Allow to rest at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
