Ingredients

• 4 lbs pork shoulder roast
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
• 2 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 cup white wine or chicken broth
• 2 onions, quartered
• 4 carrots, chopped
• 4 potatoes, quartered

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

Step 2

Pat the pork shoulder roast dry with paper towels and place it on a large cutting board.

Step 3

Rub the roast all over with olive oil, then sprinkle it evenly with salt, black pepper, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, and paprika. Massage the seasonings into the meat.

Step 4

In a large roasting pan or Dutch oven, arrange the onions, carrots, and potatoes around the roast.

Step 5

Pour the white wine or chicken broth into the bottom of the roasting pan to prevent the roast from drying out and to help create a flavorful sauce.

Step 6

Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil or a lid if using a Dutch oven.

Step 7

Place the roast in the preheated oven and cook for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 190°F (88°C). This low and slow method allows the meat to become tender and juicy.

Step 8

Remove the cover for the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow the roast to brown and develop a crispy crust.

Step 9

When done, carefully remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute for maximum flavor and tenderness.

Step 10

Arrange the vegetables on a serving platter and place the sliced pork roast on top. Drizzle with any pan juices for extra flavor.

Step 11

Serve immediately with your favorite sides and enjoy your Tasty Pork Roast!
