A festive and easy-to-make pork loin roast wrapped in thick-cut bacon and glazed with a sweet and tangy maple syrup mixture, perfect for holiday meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 to 3 lbs boneless pork loin roast (900g to 1.4kg)
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup (60ml)
  • 12 slices thick-cut bacon
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels. Lightly rub the pork with olive oil, then season all sides generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and half the rosemary.
  3. Lay out the bacon slices on a cutting board, slightly overlapping them. Place the pork loin at one end and roll it tightly in the bacon. Use kitchen twine to tie the roast every 2 inches to keep the bacon secure during cooking.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, and remaining rosemary to make the maple glaze. Set aside.
  5. Place the bacon-wrapped pork loin in a roasting pan or oven-safe skillet. Brush the entire surface with half of the maple glaze.
  6. Roast in the oven for 50–60 minutes, brushing with the remaining glaze every 15 minutes. Use a meat thermometer starting at 45 minutes to check for an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium doneness.
  7. Remove the roast from the oven and tent loosely with foil. Let it rest for 10–15 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
  8. Slice into ½-inch (1.25 cm) thick pieces and serve warm.

Notes

If bacon browns too fast, loosely cover the roast with foil to prevent burning. Always rest the meat after cooking to keep it juicy. Thick-cut bacon is essential for best results. Turkey bacon can be used as a substitute but will not crisp as well. For a bright twist, add a splash of fresh orange juice to the glaze.
