Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons garlic powder
• 1 large onion
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 2 tablespoons dried sage
• 6 cloves garlic, halved
• 1 (5 pound) pork leg with skin
• 2.5 tablespoons olive oil

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 430 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Step 2

Combine olive oil, sage, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt in a small bowl.

Step 3

Rinse pork leg and pat dry with a paper towel. Rub seasoned olive oil all over pork leg.

Step 4

Slice onion and separate layers into rings. Place onion rings and garlic halves into the bottom of a roaster. Place pork on top of onion and garlic.

Step 5

Roast in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 355 degrees F (180 degrees C) and continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), about 1 hour 20 minutes more.

Step 6

Let pork rest for 5 minutes, then slice for serving.
