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.
