Ingredients
- 5- 7 lb Pork Rib Roast I used 8 bone roast
- 2-3 tbsp dried rosemary
- 1-2 tbsp kosher salt
- fresh ground pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- Sprinkle roast with kosher salt, ground pepper and rosemary, I like quite a bit of seasoning, but coat to your preference.
- Place roast fat side up on roasting pan with rack.
- Roast uncovered for about 15 minutes at 400 degrees until a nice golden crust forms.
- Reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue to roast uncovered for about 11/2-2 hours and reaches internal temperature of 160 degrees**
- Let rest 10-15 minutes prior to carving.
Notes
you can safely cook pork to 140 degrees, but I don't like any pink in my pork so I cook to 160 degrees.

February 14, 2018 at 10:16 amI have a 3lb roast,. How long should I cook it??
Laureen King says
February 15, 2018 at 10:35 amHi Lisa, I’m guessing about 1 hour. It does depend on the thickness of the roast. Use a meat thermometer to take the guess work out of it and cook to 160º F

January 3, 2019 at 3:43 pmThis looks lovely, but if I may make a suggestion, use some Tony Chachere’s Original Creole season where you would ordinarily use salt, add some garlic powder, and a TON of coarse-ground black pepper. Tony’s has enough salt in it (with some other goodies) that you won’t need additional salt….BUT: for some extra fun, lightly sprinkle the roast with just a bit of coarse-ground sea salt.
The best thing about a pork rib roast is you can do just about anything you want with it and if you start out with good pork, you’re going to end up with something amazingly delicious.
