## Instructions

1. Make a seasoning rub by combining salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika in a bowl.
2. Stir the seasoning rub until well combined.
3. Grab a 3 to 5 pound pork shoulder roast, which can be bone-in or boneless, and place it in a large pot.
4. Drizzle a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil onto the roast.
5. Rub the oil all over the outside of the roast.
6. Sprinkle the seasoning rub generously over the entire surface of the roast, flipping it to ensure all sides are coated.
7. Place the roast, fattiest side up, into a 450-degree Fahrenheit oven for 30 minutes.
8. After 30-45 minutes, turn the oven temperature down to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
9. Let the roast continue to cook for about 1 hour while you prep the vegetables.
10. Cut two white onions into large chunks.
11. Get one pound of baby carrots or slice your own.
12. Gather 1 to 1.5 pounds of baby red potatoes, ensuring they are smaller than a golf ball, or cut larger ones to size.
13. Measure two cups of apple juice.
14. Prepare one sprig of fresh rosemary.
15. Remove the roast from the oven after it has cooked for a total of about an hour and a half.
16. Add the baby red potatoes around the roast in the pot.
17. Add the chopped white onions to the pot around the roast.
18. Add the baby carrots to the pot around the roast.
19. Pour two cups of apple juice over the vegetables.
20. Place the sprig of fresh rosemary on top of the roast and vegetables.

## Tips

- When making the seasoning rub, give it a stir.
- A butt or shoulder roast is ideal for this recipe because it requires a long cooking time and is cheaper.
- You can use a large pot, a roasting pan, or a 9x13 pan to cook the roast.
- Rub the outside of the roast with vegetable oil before applying the seasoning.
- Ensure the seasoning covers the entire roast.
- If your pork roast is tied with kitchen string, it helps it stay together better.
- Place the fattiest side of the roast facing up when roasting.
- For the red potatoes, make sure they are smaller than a golf ball. If you find bigger ones, cut them up to that size.
- Surround the roast with the vegetables in the pot, adding potatoes first, then onions and carrots.
