Instructions

Trim excess fat from the pork loin, leaving no more than a ¼ inch.
Pat the loin dry using paper towels.
Combine brown sugar, ginger, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, ground mustard, thyme, marjoram, cayenne pepper, and crushed red pepper in a small bowl. Rub this mixture over the pork loin and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven until hot. Sear the roast until deep golden brown on both sides.
Transfer the pork loin to a roasting pan with the halved potatoes, carrots, and onions. Roast in a preheated oven at 375°F for 1 to 1¼ hours, until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter, then add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently. Stir in pineapple juice, honey, spicy brown mustard, soy sauce, ketchup, cider vinegar, and grated ginger. Season with salt and pepper to taste and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Baste the roast with the glaze every 15-20 minutes and let it rest covered with aluminum foil for 15 minutes after cooking.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the pork overnight in the spice rub.
Adjust spices to taste; add more cayenne for extra heat if desired.
Let the pork rest before slicing to retain juiciness.
