Sweet and Spicy Barbecue Rub for Succulent Pork Roast

In a bowl, combine the sea salt, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, mild chili powder, ground black pepper, ground cumin, celery salt, and crushed red chili flakes.

With a whisk, mix all the seasonings until the brown sugar is fully incorporated and you have a consistent color.

Rub the mixture on all sides of the pork roast, making sure it is thoroughly coated.

Transfer any leftover rub into an airtight container and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This can be used within a three-month span.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the rub-coated pork on a roasting rack and bake for about 20 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reads 145 degrees Fahrenheit on a meat thermometer. Let the meat rest for at least 3 minutes before slicing and serving.
