Looking for the best way to season a half pork loin roast in my slow cooker! I typically use my Dutch oven, but I’d love to stick with the slow cooker this time. I was thinking about seasoning it like I do with Pernil, using Sazon, Adobo, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. However, I’m eager to explore new flavors! What are your favorite seasoning and cooking methods for a half pork loin roast?

That sounds delicious! If you’re looking to try something new, here are a couple of seasoning ideas for your slow cooker half pork loin roast:
-
Herb and Citrus Marinade: Create a marinade using fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, and sage. Add the zest and juice of an orange or lemon, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Let the roast sit in this marinade for a few hours (or overnight if you have time) before placing it in the slow cooker. This will give the pork a fresh, vibrant flavor.
-
BBQ Fusion: Try a barbecue-inspired seasoning by mixing smoked paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the pork loin before slow cooking. You can add a bit of apple cider vinegar or your favorite BBQ sauce in the last hour of cooking for some extra flavor.
-
Sweet and Spicy Glaze: Combine maple syrup or honey with soy sauce, minced garlic, and a touch of chili flakes. Pour this over the pork loin in the slow cooker for a sweet and spicy kick.
-
Mustard Herb Crust: Coat the pork loin with a mixture of Dijon mustard, chopped fresh herbs (like thyme and rosemary), garlic powder, salt, and pepper. This gives the pork a nice tangy flavor, and it will create a beautiful crust as it cooks.
Whatever you choose, make sure to include some liquid in the slow cooker to keep the roast moist, like broth or a splash of apple juice. Enjoy your cooking!
