Ingredients You’ll Need
(Serves 6)
3–4 lbs boneless pork loin roast (not tenderloin—too lean!)
½ cup pure maple syrup (not pancake syrup!)
¼ cup Dijon mustard
2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
3 garlic cloves, minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
Salt & pepper to taste (optional)
💡 Pro Tip: Use real maple syrup—it caramelizes beautifully and adds depth. Imitation syrup burns and tastes artificial.
