Instructions

1

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).

Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.

Season the pork

Mix the rosemary, garlic powder, and pepper in a small bowl, then rub this mixture all over the pork roast.

Rubbing the seasoning evenly ensures every bite is flavorful.

Prepare the roast

Place the pork roast, fat side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan.

Positioning the fat side up helps baste the meat as it cooks.

Use a meat thermometer to monitor the internal temperature.

While the pork is roasting, prepare the glaze by combining the orange juice, orange marmalade, soy sauce, ketchup, honey, mustard, and ginger in a mixing bowl.

Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well combined.

Rest the roast

Once the internal temperature of the pork reaches 170°F (77°C), remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the meat tender.
