Caster sugar

2 tbs

Ground cinnamon

½ tsp

  3. Lightly spray pork with olive oil, then rub with spice mixture.
  4. Place pork on prepare tray. Bake for 50-55 mins or until browned and cooked through. Cool to room temperature. Slice.

Notes

SERVING SUGGESTION: 120g roast potatoes per serve and steamed mixed vegetables. TIP: A pork strip loin roast is the equivalent cut in beef to a New York/strip loin steak and therefore is very lean. Ask your local butcher for this cut.
