EASY BONELESS PORK ROAST

Mare’ Evans CNW Contributing Writer

An easy recipe for a juicy, succulent, very flavorful oven-baked boneless pork roast. It’s as simple as can be: Rub the meat with spices, then cook it in the oven until the outside is browned and crispy and the inside is tender and juicy. It’s easy, tasty, and affordable!

I really like making roasts for dinner. Similar to casseroles (such as this ground beef casserole), they provide lots of food for minimal work. They practically cook themselves!

When it comes to pork, I do like making baked pork chops, but I have to admit that this tasty roast is much easier to make. You simply rub the meat with seasonings, then bake it in the oven until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F. Get ready for a mouth watering meat that goes well with so many American staples, like roasted, baked, or mashed potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, cooked greens and or salad greens preferably Kale, macaroni & cheese casserole. Compliment with a cold slaw.

Ingredients

1.Olive Oil

2. 1 tablespoon > kosher salt

3. ½ teaspoon black pepper

4. 1 tablespoon garlic powder

5. 1tablespoon paprika

6. 1 teaspoon dried sage

7. 1 teaspoon dried thyme

8. 3lb. boneless pork shoulder roast

1. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and fit it with a wire rack. Spray the wire rack with olive oil.

2. In a small bowl, mix together the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, sage, and thyme.

3. Pat the meat dry with paper towels. Place it on the wire rack. Rub the spice mixture all over the roast. Spray its top liberally with olive oil.

4. Heat the oven to 425 degrees F. Allow the roast to sit at room temperature while the oven is warming, about 30 minutes.

5. Insert a meat thermometer probe into the middle of the roast and place the pork in the hot oven. Roast it for 15 minutes, then lower the heat to 375 degrees F and continue roasting until the meat thermometer reads 145 degrees F. In my oven it takes 75 minutes (about 25 minutes per pound).

6. Remove the roast from the oven. Loosely tent it with foil and allow it to rest for 20 minutes.

7. Carefully remove the butcher twine from the roast, slice and serve.
