Bacon-Wrapped Glazed Pork Loin
Pork loin is a leaner cut of meat and benefits greatly from a quick spice rub. Bacon and maple syrup help to keep the moisture in by forming a delicious caramelized crust.

Directions
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed sheet pan with foil and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, salt, paprika, thyme, chili powder, black pepper and cumin. Reserve half of mixture for later use in glaze. Add garlic and lemon zest to remaining spice mixture, stir well and rub all over pork roast. Transfer pork roast to prepared sheet pan. Lay strips of bacon crosswise around pork, wrapping down sides and tucking underneath. Roast until instant read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the roast registers 120°F, about 30 minutes.
Add maple syrup and apple cider to reserved spice mixture and stir well. Glaze top and sides of roast with mixture and return to oven until thermometer registers 150°F, about 20 minutes more. Remove from oven, tent roast loosely with foil and rest 5 to 10 minutes before carving.
