A flavorful and aromatic pork roast inspired by Puerto Rican cuisine.
Combine the orange zest, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl.
Use a whisk to ensure the marinade ingredients are evenly combined.
Place the pork loin in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Turn the bag occasionally to ensure the pork is evenly coated.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before placing the pork inside.
Transfer the pork and marinade to a roasting pan. Roast at 450°F for 5 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue roasting until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), about 20 minutes.
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature for perfect doneness.
Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the pork more tender.
Serve the sliced pork with your choice of sides and enjoy.
Garnish with fresh herbs for an added touch of flavor and presentation.
