Stages of cooking
-
Preheat the oven to 430 degrees F (220 degrees C).
-
Combine olive oil, sage, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt in a small bowl.
-
Rinse pork leg and pat dry with a paper towel. Rub seasoned olive oil all over pork leg.
-
Slice onion and separate layers into rings. Place onion rings and garlic halves into the bottom of a roaster. Place pork on top of onion and garlic.
-
Roast in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 355 degrees F (180 degrees C) and continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), about 1 hour 20 minutes more.
-
Let pork rest for 5 minutes, then slice for serving.
