🥘 Pork Shoulder Butt Roast Ingredients

You can choose a pork shoulder butt roast that either has or does not have a fat cap. It is a personal preference!

• Pork Shoulder Butt Roast - 5-pound boneless pork shoulder butt roast.
• Olive Oil - 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil (or you can use Dijon or German mustard).
• Pork Roast Seasoning - 2 tablespoons of pork roast seasoning (try my recipe or use your favorite brand).

*Be sure to see the free printable recipe card below for ingredients, exact amounts & instructions with tips!*

While this roast does spend some time in the oven, the actual prep work is super quick! Grab your roasting pan and knife and you're ready to get started!

A 5-pound roast will feed about 10 people, depending on how hungry everyone is!

1. Preheat. To begin, preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). Rinse your 5-pound pork roast with cool water and pat it dry.
2. Season the roast. Place your pork onto a roasting rack and coat it with 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil (or your choice of mustard). Generously season the meat with 2 tablespoons of pork roast seasoning.
3. Roast. Roast the pork fat side up for 1 hour (it should appear lightly browned). Then, reduce the temperature to 300°F (150°C) and continue to roast for 4 more hours, or until the pork is tender and the fat cap (if you have one) is crispy.
4. Rest. Transfer the roast to a large platter or cutting board and loosely cover it with aluminum foil. Allow it to rest for 30 minutes before slicing and serving.

Serve your delicious roast with some honey roasted acorn squash and red potato wedges or roasted red potatoes. You can also add on a wedge salad if everyone's really hungry! Enjoy!

💭 Angela's Tips & Recipe Notes

• To store: Place your roast into a sealed container and keep it in the fridge for up to 4 days.
• To freeze: Let your roast cool completely and then wrap it tightly in heavy-duty aluminum foil and place it into a freezer storage bag. You can freeze it for up to 6 months, just allow it to fully defrost before reheating.
• To reheat: Place your leftovers onto a rimmed baking sheet, splash it with some water or broth, and cover it with aluminum foil. Bake it in the oven at 300°F (150°C) until heated thoroughly.

❓ How Long Does Pork Shoulder Butt Roast Take To Cook?

At 300°F (150°C), it should take approximately 1 hour per pound to cook your roast. Make sure that your pork is nice and tender!

❓ Should I Put Water At The Bottom Of My Roasting Pan?

Nope! If you add water to the pan, it will steam the pork rather than roast it. This could lead to soggy meat.

❓ Do You Cover Pork Shoulder Butt When Roasting In The Oven?

Nope! Use a higher temperature at first and leave the roast uncovered in order to develop a nice and crispy outside. Then, reduce the temperature to finish cooking.
