I love serving this roast with a starchy side like seasoned rice, Velveeta mac and cheese, polenta cakes, or a microwave-baked potato.

  • Transfer the roast to a cutting board or serving platter, loosely cover with aluminum foil, and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure your pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for optimal doneness. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the roast to get an accurate reading. 
  • After roasting, let the pork rest tented loosely with foil for at least 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring it stays moist and flavorful when you slice into it.
