Tips:
- Use a good quality pork roast. Look for a roast that is well-marbled with fat. This will help to keep the roast moist and flavorful as it cooks.
- Season the roast well. Use a generous amount of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other spices, such as paprika, cumin, or caraway seeds.
- Sear the roast before roasting. This will help to create a nice crust and lock in the juices. Sear the roast in a hot skillet for 5-7 minutes per side.
- Roast the pork at a low temperature. This will help to prevent the roast from drying out. Roast the pork at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 2-3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the roast rest before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat. Let the roast rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
