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
  • 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 with the lid and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours, or until the pork is tender and fully cooked.
  • Carefully remove the pork loin from the slow cooker. Slice or shred the pork, and 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.
