Sticky-sweet, savory, and full of bold flavor; this roasted honey garlic pork is an easy oven-baked recipe that the whole family will love!
Ingredients
- 4 pounds pork shoulder roast cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 onion roughly chopped
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 6 cloves garlic finely diced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 cup honey
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes adjust to taste
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cut pork into bite-sized 1-inch cubes and roughly chop the onion.
- Place pork and onions into a braiser, roasting pan, or large skillet with a lid. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Cover and bake for 1 hour. Do not drain the juices from the pan.
- In a small bowl, mix the diced garlic, honey, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes.
- Pour sauce over pork and stir to coat well.
- Return to oven and roast uncovered for an additional 1½ hours, stirring every 20–30 minutes. The sauce will thicken and edges will darken and caramelize.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to control the heat level.
- Great served over rice or noodles. Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 4 days.
