Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 F.

  2. Trim tough skin from the pork shoulder, leaving a 1/4 inch layer of fat.

  3. Whisk together brown sugar, paprika, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, sage, and pepper to create a dry rub.

  4. Pat the rub into the pork roast, then place it in a sealed plastic bag and refrigerate overnight or up to two days.

  5. Remove the pork from the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to roasting to let it rest at room temperature.

  6. Line a shallow roasting pan with foil, insert a roasting rack, and place the pork shoulder on it.

  7. Roast for 30 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 325 F.

  8. Continue roasting for an additional 120 to 150 minutes, or until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 170 F.

  9. Remove the roast from the oven, tent it with foil, and let it rest for 30 minutes before carving.
