Spiced Pork Rib Roast with Seasonal Vegetables

This pork roast recipe gets rubbed with a home-ground spice blend of coriander, cloves, and bay leaf. Infuse some extra herbal flavor into your pork roast by making a slit in the side and placing some fresh sprigs of rosemary. Served with roasted corn and green beans (flavored with the pan drippings), this is a one-pan dinner you won't forget.

Honey-Glazed Pork Roast

Give everyday pork loin a fresh makeover by enjoying a sweet pork roast for dinner thanks to a flavorful honey-lime glaze. Throw your colorful arrangement of bell peppers in the oven the last 45 minutes for an easy and delicious roasted vegetable side.

Festive Pork Roast

As if the name didn't already give it away, this pork roast recipe is obviously meant to be served at fancy dinners, but don't let that stop you from making it on a weeknight. The roast gets a long soak in a red wine-based marinade featuring soy, curry, ginger, and garlic. Oh, and that marinade is so good, we've turned it into both a glaze and sauce for this juicy pork roast.

Mushroom-Stuffed Pork Roast

Choose this elegant pork roast as the main dish over the usual ham or turkey on your holiday table. Served in a small pool of white wine and shallot sauce, it's going to be difficult to keep yourself from licking the plate clean.

Rosemary and Garlic Smoked Pork Roast

Rub your pork loin with rosemary and oil before grilling. That's right, this smoked pork roast recipe can be accomplished right on your grill to achieve perfectly smoky and succulent status. A squeeze of lime or lemon over your meat before serving makes a tangy finish.

Italian Pork Roast

You only need 20 minutes of hands-on time to enjoy this eye-catching pork roast recipe. The boneless pork shoulder roast gets an herb crust before going into a bath of cherry tomatoes. After shredding your juicy Italian-inspired pork, you can enjoy it with your favorite sides. We suggest mashed potatoes. Pile the leftovers on a slice of bread for an open-face sandwich.

Walnut-Encrusted Pork Roast

Need Christmas menu inspiration? Look no further than this classic pork roast. Covered with walnuts and topped with lingonberry (or cranberry) sauce, this boneless pork roast recipe is perfect for sharing with your family during the holidays.

Cochito Chiapaneco

Don't let the unusual name keep you away. Chochito is Spanish for roasted pork and Chiapaneco regards the Mexican state of Chiapas. The pork roast gets marinated with a wet rub containing chile peppers, onion, sherry, vinegar, and garlic (plus some fabulous spices!) before getting slow-roasted to perfection. Serve with cebollas encurtidas, a Mexican-inspired version of pickled red onions. The leftovers would make excellent pork tacos.
