We got this idea while we were eating a pecan roll. We were thinking that it tasted so good we wished we could have it for dinner. Well, we think we succeeded in making a main course that tastes just as good! We're also pretty sure it will become one of your most requested pork loin recipes!
What You'll Need
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 (2- to 2-pound) boneless center-cut single pork loin
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
What to Do
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a baking dish with cooking spray.
-
In a small bowl, combine maple syrup, lemon juice, salt, and pepper; mix well. Rub 2 tablespoons of mixture over entire pork loin. Press pecans into pork, coating all sides. Place pork in prepared baking dish.
-
Bake 35 minutes. Remove pork from oven and pour remaining syrup mixture over it. Bake an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until juices run clear.
-
Cut pork into 1/2-inch slices and serve with pan drippings.
Notes
Walnuts are just as good as pecans here, or if you prefer, you can skip the nuts and make it just maple-flavored.
