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.

Yes the roast will cook much faster because it doesn't have the bone. Just use a meat thermometer to keep an eye on the temp.
Hello,
Would the cooking time be different for a boneless roast that is just over four pounds?
Thank you.
Make sure you place the roast on the middle rack. You can also tent the roast with a little foil if the garlic is getting to brown. Glad you loved it , its one of our favorites 🙂
This came out very well for me minus the minced garlic on top. How did you manage to cook this at 300 for so long without getting burnt garlic? After about 90 minutes I took the roast out to just to pick off a lot of that garlic because it tasted so bitter.
Assuming it has a bone I would check it after 2 hours you want 185-190 degrees.
How long do you cook a smaller roast (3#) ?
Fantastic Markus! I'm so happy you loved it 🙂
This came out decisions! Skin was crispy while the inside was moist and juicy. Definitely adding to my repertoire for dinner parties.
I would roast for about an hour, then add veggies and roast for 2 more hours, or until everything is tender.
How long to roast when you have a just over 3 lb roast, and when do you add vegetables. This looks awesome!
