Ingredients
- 1 pork butt Skin on highly recommended.
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F. Put foil on a baking pan and grease well with butter or a non-stick spray. Using an oven rack is even better since there will be a smaller chance for the pork to stick to the foil. Add a healthy amount of salt and pepper all around the pork butt.
- When the oven reaches 350°F, insert the pork butt skin down. You want the skin to cook last so that it comes out crispy. At about 1½ hours, flip the pork butt so that the skin is facing up. The time in the oven will vary depending on the size and thickness of the pork.
- Take out the pork butt after 3 hours or when the internal temperature reaches 190°F. If one section's internal temperature is cooking faster, cover it with foil so that the other areas can continue to cook.
Notes
- We'll eat roast pork as a meaty side dish. But when we start to get tired of it, you can slice it up and add it to a vegetable stir fry to mix it up.
- After taking it out of the oven, let the pork butt sit for at least 10 minutes to let the skin harden and the juices to settle.
- If you don't have a thermometer and your pork butt is a different size than ours, stick a skewer into the pork to check for doneness. If the liquid runs clear, your pork is ready. If it runs pink, continue to roast.
