- ½ tsp. onion powder
- ½ tsp. black pepper

Bringing it all Together:

- Next, drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the pork roast and vegetables.
- Place the pork roast into the oven and bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees.
- Remove the pork roast from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
To Serve:

Notes
Invent Your Recipe:
You can season this pork roast with just about anything you want. I have used Italian seasoning, butter, lemon, honey, BBQ sauce, and marinara sauce in the past. They all work well, but are not to everyone's liking. I really enjoy eating pork prepared this way, the roast always turns out juicy and tender.
I do not always cook this recipe with vegetable on the side. It is entirely up to you. Keep the vegetables, changes up the vegetables you use, or remove them all together.
