1

Combine brown sugar, pepper, salt, garlic powder, mustard powder, ground ginger, onion powder, red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, cumin, paprika, and thyme in a bowl. Rub the spice mixture over the pork loin and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Set the pork on a 9x13-inch baking dish and refrigerate for 4 hours to overnight.
2

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove the plastic wrap from the pork and discard it; place the pork back in the baking dish.
3

Bake in the preheated oven until the pork is slightly pink in the center, about 50 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should reach at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Cover the pork loosely with aluminum foil and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
