Crispy Roast Pork

This crispy roast pork is perfect when eaten plain or piled high on top of a sandwich. Perfectly seasoned and totally delicious.

We all look for ways to save time during the week, so we can get a delicious dinner on the table fast. 

One way to make meal-planning easier is to make a big roast at the beginning of the week, and use it for different meals. 

This crispy roast pork is so juicy and versatile, I love using it in a Cuban sandwich, or in my crispy roast pork panini with rapini and spicy sauce.

You really can’t go wrong!

And with this crispy roast pork, the oven does all of the work for you.

You’re going to love how versatile, and delicious, this roast pork is!

Make ahead 

This roast is perfect for making at the beginning of the week, and portioning out for recipes later on.

After the crispy roast pork is done, let cool to room temperature and pull the meat off of the bone. 

Portion shredded or sliced pork into airtight containers, and either store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or place in the freezer for up to 2 months!

Serving as-is

This roast would absolutely make a handsome centerpiece for any dinner party.

It would be fabulous served alongside spinach parmesan baked mashed potatoes, or crispy air fryer brussels sprouts.

Storage and leftovers of roast pork

Put any leftover roast pork into airtight containers, and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or store in the freezer for up to 2 months.

To reheat from frozen, place in the refrigerator the night before, and then microwave on high, covered loosely with a wet paper towel, for 3-4 minutes or until heated thoroughly.
