Mardi Gras Pork Roast

So instead of Fat Tuesday, we celebrated (not so) Fat Thursday.  This recipe takes about an hour and a half from start to finish but it is well work the time (Zack approved!).

Ingredients
1 pork sirloin (approximately 2 pounds)- have you been to Costco yet?  Because they sell these babies in a four pack and they are super cheap
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp minced garlic - I really hope you bought that big jar of minced garlic
1 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp onion - I have the freeze dried kind but feel free to use onion powder if you do not have any fresh minced
1/4 tsp thyme
1/4 adobo spice
1/4 tsp oregano
2 Tbsp grape seed oil

Directions

1. Combine all spices in a small bowl.  Stir in the grape seed oil and let mixture sit while oven preheats
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
3. Line a glass baking pan with aluminum foil (or just grease the pan, if you prefer)
4. Pound the pork so that you break up the surface layer enough to allow the spices to absorb.  Rub spices all over the meat so that it is completely covered
5. Place the meat into the glass dish and set in the oven for about an hour (until your meat thermometer reads 160).  Once cooked, allow meat to rest for 15 minutes
6. Serve over mashed sweet potatoes and a side of steamed vegetables
