It’s a simple recipe that produces reliably juicy results time after time. It’s one of the recipes most often requested by my family! It’s easy, delicious, and affordable. I love making roasts for dinner. Much like casseroles, they provide lots of food for minimal work - they practically cook themselves! When it comes to pork, although I enjoy oven-baked pork chops, this pork roast is easier to make. You simply rub the meat with seasonings, then bake it until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.

Olive oil spray: I love olive oil and use it frequently. If you prefer an oil with a higher smoke point, you can use avocado oil instead. Kosher salt and black pepper: I use Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt and freshly ground black pepper. Spices: Garlic powder, paprika, dried sage, and dried thyme. I prefer garlic powder to minced fresh garlic in this recipe. It more evenly coats the meat. Boneless pork shoulder: I usually pick a 3-pound roast. I prefer a boneless roast because it’s easier to slice and serve.
You can also spray the pork with ghee instead of olive oil. It’s delicious! Prepare the spice mixture: Mix the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, sage, and thyme. Rub the spice mixture over the pork and spray its top liberally with olive oil. Let the pork rest for 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
