Ingredients

  • 2 ½ tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons dried sage
  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 (5 pound) pork leg with skin
  • 1 large onion
  • 6 cloves garlic, halved

Directions

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 onto pork leg.

Step 4
Slice onion and separate layers into rings. Place onion rings and garlic halves in the bottom of a roaster. Place pork on top of onions and garlic.

Step 5
Roast in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 355 degrees F (180 degrees C) and roast 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
Remove from the oven and slice for serving.
