Tips:

To ensure the pork roast is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should reach 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 155°F (68°C) for medium, and 165°F (74°C) for well-done.
For a crispy crust, sear the pork roast in a hot skillet before roasting it in the oven. This will help to create a flavorful and browned exterior.
If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check the doneness of the pork roast by inserting a fork into the thickest part of the meat. If the juices run clear, the roast is cooked. If the juices are pink, the roast needs to cook longer.
Let the pork roast rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
Serve the pork roast with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a green salad.
