This recipe offers a delicious and smoky pork shoulder roast, perfect for gatherings or family dinners.
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Rub the pork shoulder with the seasoning salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and smoked paprika, ensuring even coverage.
Massaging the spices into the meat enhances flavor penetration.
Place the pork shoulder in a roasting pan.
Use a pan with high sides to catch any juices.
Add the onion, water, bay leaves, and liquid smoke to the pan.
The liquid smoke adds a deep smoky flavor without a smoker.
Cover the pan with aluminum foil and roast in the oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 170°F (77°C).
Covering the pan helps retain moisture during cooking.
Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute within the meat.
Slice the pork shoulder and serve with your favorite barbecue sauce.
Serve with sides like coleslaw or baked beans for a complete meal.
