Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 2 hours
Serves: 8

Ingredients

4 lbs pork roast

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp kosher salt

1 tsp black pepper

2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped

2 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped

1 tbsp garlic powder

1 lemon, zested

1 orange, zested

1/2 cup orange juice

1/4 cup lemon juice

1/4 cup honey

1 tbsp Dijon mustard

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place the pork roast on a rack in a roasting pan.

2. Rub the pork roast with olive oil, salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, lemon zest, and orange zest.

3. Roast in the preheated oven for about 1.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
