Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Make a marinade mixture using salt, garlic powder, black pepper and 1 teaspoon of water.
Apply it to the roast. Rub the roast with the spices, making sure to cover it completely.
Place roast in a shallow roasting pan and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
Roast for 90 minutes or until the roast’s internal temperature registers 130-135 degrees F on a meat thermometer.
Remove the roast from the oven, and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Slice the roast and serve with your favorite sides!
• Be sure to monitor the roast’s internal temperature closely, as overcooking can lead to a tough end product.
• For added flavor, consider adding herbs and spices to the rub before baking.
• Let the roast rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
• For a sweeter version of this recipe, use brown sugar instead of white sugar.
• To add some crunchiness, mix in some chopped walnuts or almonds into the batter before baking.
• For a more unique flavor, try adding some orange peel or dried cranberries to the batter.
• To make the recipe vegan-friendly, use melted non-dairy butter instead of regular butter.
