Note

If fresh rosemary is unavailable, substitute with 2 teaspoons of dried rosemary.

For a richer flavor, add 1/2 cup of chicken broth or apple cider to the roasting pan before cooking.

Always use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork is cooked to a safe internal temperature without overcooking.

Letting the roast rest allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring moist slices.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
