Garlic Rosemary Roasted Pork Shoulder

This Garlic Rosemary Roasted Pork Shoulder cooks slowly in the oven to make it absolutely succulent!

This Garlic Rosemary Pork Shoulder melts in your mouth. So tender and juicy, one of the easiest roasts I have ever made. A perfect Holiday dinner or Sunday supper.

Slow roasted and cooked to perfection, so tender you don't even need a knife. I was really surprised at how fantastic this turned out. The red potatoes have that perfect creaminess to them and the carrots and onions are caramelized and sweet. Cooking until the pork reaches about 185-190 degrees ensures melt in your mouth tenderness. This Cuisinart 16-inch Roaster with Rack works perfectly, I also use it to roast my Root Beer Glazed Spiral Ham for Easter every year.

Leaving the bone in adds extra flavor and the layer of fat helps keep the roast moist while it cooks.  Here is a good tutorial for tying up your roast, it helps keep its aesthetically pleasing round shape.

Toss all the veggies together in a bowl first and add some salt and pepper to taste.

Adding the veggies after a couple of hours of roasting just ensures they won't be mushy and overcooked when the roast is done.

I have a fantastic Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Sandwich with Chipotle Slaw recipe that is always a huge crowd-pleaser.
