## Instructions

### 1. Preheat and prep

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Place the pork loin in a roasting pan or deep baking dish. Pat it dry and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

### 2. Mix the glaze

In a bowl, whisk together the Coca-Cola, brown sugar, mustard, and soy sauce. Pour this mixture over the pork loin, ensuring it’s well coated.

### 3. Bake low and slow

Cover with foil and roast for about 2 to 2½ hours, basting occasionally with the pan juices. For the last 20–30 minutes, uncover the roast to allow the glaze to thicken and caramelize. If desired, add fresh herbs like rosemary for extra aroma.

### 4. Rest and slice

Remove the pork loin from the oven and let it rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing. Spoon any remaining glaze from the pan over the top before serving.
