Tips & Tricks

Preparation tips

Pre-cooking the pork meat for 40 minutes exposes it to high temperature and makes the skin crispy. We’re using olive oil for this recipe since it’s a good form of fat and it also imparts a distinct flavor that anyone will appreciate. While leaving the pork to rest for 10 minutes prior to serving, you can make keto gravy out of the drippings from the roast, egg yolks, chopped onion, and butter. An alternative seasoning to salt would be greek seasoning. This gives your pork roast a mediterranean flavor.
