Ingredients
  

  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2-3 lb pork loin roast boneless or bone-in
  • 8 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce regular or reduced-sodium; use certified gluten-free tamari or coconut aminos for gluten-free
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 can pineapple chunks 20 oz, with juice

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, combine onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub the mixture all over the pork loin to coat evenly.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork loin on all sides until golden-brown, about 1-2 minutes per side.
  • Place the seared pork loin in the slow cooker. Sprinkle minced garlic over the top.
  • Add soy sauce and pineapple chunks along with their juice to the slow cooker. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the top.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours or HIGH for 2-3 hours. Start checking at the early end of the range and cook until the center reaches at least 145°F (63°C).
  • Carefully remove the pork loin from the slow cooker and rest it for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve over steamed rice or roasted vegetables, spooning the pineapple sauce over the top.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a splash of sriracha to the sauce.
