Best To Die For Maple And Herb Pork Roast Recipes
ROAST MAPLE PORK LOIN
Nothing says "holiday meal" to me like a centerpiece-worthy platter of roasted meat and vegetables. The season requires that you have options, because you might be cooking for a crowd or a dinner party. I like to make a little extra of this particular recipe, and use the leftovers for sandwiches. What could be better?

Steps:
- Season the pork loin with 1 tablespoon of salt and a generous amount of black pepper. Chop the garlic and sage together to make a coarse rub for the pork. Rub it into the pork loin. Cover with plastic and refrigerate for a few hours, preferably overnight. Remove it from the refrigerator 30 minutes before you're going to cook. (Note: Please allow 8 hours for overnight marinating.)
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Set a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the bacon to the pan, and fry until crisp and fully rendered. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon. Return the pan to the heat.
- Add the orange juice, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and chili powder to the sauté pan with the rendered bacon fat. Simmer the glaze until it thickens and becomes syrupy, about 2-3 minutes. Once the glaze has thickened, drizzle in a tablespoon of olive oil, for added body and glossiness. Set aside.
- Trim, clean, and halve the Brussels sprouts. Spread them out on a rimmed baking sheet. Set aside.
- Peel and cut the butternut squash into quarter-moon shapes, ¼-inch thick. Spread out on a second rimmed baking sheet. Set aside.
- Remove the plastic wrap from the rested pork loin, and discard. Brush the sage/garlic mixture off and place the loin, fat side up, on the third rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle half of the cooled glaze over the pork loin, smearing it in with your hands. Coat the vegetables in the remaining olive oil, scatter a few sprigs of thyme on the trays, and season with salt. Toss with the remaining glaze. Place the trays in the oven and set a timer for 10 minutes.
- Check the vegetables after 10 minutes; remove from the oven once they're golden brown and slightly soft in the middle. Drop the oven's temperature to 375 F and continue roasting the pork loin until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest end reads 140 degrees F, about 20-30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest.
- Spread the roasted vegetables on a large serving platter. Slice half of the pork loin, and arrange on top of the vegetables. Garnish with the cooked bacon and lemon wedges. Serve immediately.
MAPLE BAKED PORK LOIN ROAST
This is a GREAT recipe. Do not let the ingredients scare you, they combine to make a really great taste. The pork is so moist and tender that it will fall apart when you go to cut it. I find it comes out best with the loin that has two sections. If it is a single loin, it still comes out great, but does not fall apart quite so much. Everyone who tries this loves it so far. It's my husband's favorite and very easy to make. It cooks for 1 hr 45 min - 2 hrs.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until smoking. Meanwhile, season the pork roast with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour, and shake off excess. Sear in hot oil until browned on all sides, about 1 minute per side.
- Place onto a large sheet of aluminum foil set on top of a baking sheet; set aside. Stir together the maple syrup, ketchup, water, and garlic. Pour 3/4 of this sauce over the pork. Fold the foil over the pork, and seal to form a packet.
- Bake in preheated oven until the internal temperature reaches 170 degrees F (75 degrees C), about 2 hours. Carefully open up the foil packet, and broil for a few minutes until the sauce glazes the meat. Serve with remaining sauce.

Steps:
- *I used a just barely under 5 lb. pork loin roast half that came in a sealed, heavy plastic wrapper. I didn't want to cook it the way it came, so I cut it in half crossways, put the 2 halves together (round, fat side-out and flat insides together), and tied them together securely with cotton baking string. Next, add all of the spices and herbs into a jar, close the lid and shake to mix. Spoon all of the spice mixture evenly on all sides of the roast. Place into a 13 x 9 baking dish. Fill bottom of pan with water, and drizzle roast with half of the butter (melted). Pop into a preheated 350 degree oven.
- Bake for 1 hour. Drizzle rest of melted butter over roast, turn dish/pan around to bake evenly if needed, and bake 30 minutes longer. (*My oven tends to run a bit hot. If yours is slow, add about 5 minutes longer.) ****During last 5 minutes of baking time, drizzle with the maple syrup. *Remember, pork is DONE when still *slightly pink in the center and juices run clear. Don't overcook pork. You may as well nail it to the bottom of your shoes if you needlessly overcook it. Remove from oven, loosely cover with foil to rest. Let rest at least 10 minutes to let the juices calm down before slicing. There's no rush, it will stay hot for quite awhile giving time to prepare last minute sides and salads. Enjoy!!!
