Roast Pork

INGREDIENTS

1/2 tsp. black pepper

1/2 tsp. garlic powder

1/4 tsp. salt

3–5lb. pork loin roast

3 ribs celery (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Mix together black pepper, garlic powder and salt. Rub it all over pork.

Put the roast on a rack in a roasting pan. If you don’t have a rack use 3 stalks of celery lying side by side.

Roast until internal temperature is between 145-160°F, 20-25 minutes per pound. It will be moist and slightly pink in the center. If you prefer your pork fully white and well done, then go with the 160°F temperature.

Cover roasting pan with foil and let rest for 30 minutes.

Heat oven to 475°F. Uncover roast and remove the thermometer. Put roast into a clean pan and roast for another 10 minutes.

Carve and serve immediately.
