Instructions

Preheat your oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit (260 degrees Celsius).

Place the boneless pork roast in a suitable baking dish, ensuring it is well-positioned for even cooking.

In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, chipotle chiles (minced), brown sugar substitute, onion powder, garlic powder, soy sauce, and water. Stir the mixture thoroughly until well-combined to create a flavorful marinade.
4
Pour the marinade evenly over the pork roast, making sure to cover all sides. For optimal flavor infusion, cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for a deeper flavor.

After marinating, remove the roast from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
