Here’s a simple and delicious pork roast recipe that comes out juicy and flavorful.
🍖 Garlic Herb Pork Roast
Ingredients
- 3–4 lb pork shoulder or pork loin roast
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 3–4 potatoes, chopped (optional)
- 3 carrots, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Season the pork: Rub the roast with olive oil. Mix garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, thyme, and rosemary, then rub all over the pork.
- Prepare the pan: Place sliced onions in the bottom of a roasting pan. Put the pork roast on top.
- Add broth and vegetables: Pour chicken broth around the roast and add potatoes and carrots if using.
- Roast: Cook uncovered for 1½–2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for pork loin or 190°F (88°C) for pork shoulder (for tender shredding).
- Rest: Let the roast rest 10 minutes before slicing.
- Serve: Slice and serve with the roasted vegetables and pan juices.
💡 Tips
- Pork shoulder is best if you want pulled pork style (very tender).
- Pork loin is leaner and better for slicing.
- Add apples or apple juice for a slightly sweet flavor.
