  • Total Time: 2 hrs 5 mins
  • Yield: 6-8 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • Pork crown roast, 4-5 lb (1.8-2.3 kg), Frenched
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup cranberry glaze
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • Assorted root vegetables (carrots, parsnips, potatoes) for roasting
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the crown roast on a rack in a large roasting pan and secure the legs to maintain its shape.
  2. Rub with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper; let marinate 30-60 minutes if possible.
  3. Roast vegetables around the roast; toss with a little oil and salt.
  4. Roast 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). If browning too fast, tent with foil.
  5. Transfer roast to a carving board; simmer pan juices with cranberry glaze and chicken broth to form a glossy sauce.
  6. Carve crowns, serve with vegetables and pan sauce, garnish with parsley.

Notes

  • Let the roast come to room temperature before roasting for even cooking.
  • Roast veggies alongside the meat for a one-pan dinner.
  • Deglaze the pan with broth and cranberry glaze to make a glossy pan sauce.
