If you love sweet and savory meals, this Hawaiian pork loin is going to be a new favorite in your house. The pineapple adds a lovely natural sweetness while helping to tenderize the meat, making every bite incredibly juicy and delicious. It is a simple recipe that feels special enough for guests but is easy enough for a busy weeknight.

I love how the barbecue and chili sauce create a caramelized coating that pairs perfectly with the fresh veggies. It is best served over a bed of fluffy white rice to soak up all that extra sauce. Make sure you let the meat rest for ten minutes after baking so all those wonderful juices stay right where they belong.

Ingredients

  • 2 pound pork loin
  • 1 cup pineapple rings
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons pineapple juice
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh green onions, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F and lightly grease a baking dish.

  2. 2

    Turn the pork loin flat side down and make several small incisions along the top of the meat.

  3. 3

    Rub the pork with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and a light coating of chili sauce.

  4. 4

    Place the pork in the baking dish and tuck half of a pineapple ring into each incision you made.

  5. 5

    In a medium bowl, mix together the barbecue sauce, pineapple juice, bell pepper, red onion, and garlic.

  6. 6

    Pour this sauce mixture over the pork loin.

  7. 7

    Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, then carefully reduce the oven heat to 350 degrees F.

  8. 8

    Continue baking for another 35 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers 140 degrees F.

  9. 9

    Remove the pork from the oven, garnish with fresh green onions, and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To serve, you can reheat it in the oven at a low temperature with a splash of water to keep the meat from drying out.
