- 2 tablespoons fresh sage, chopped

Instructions:
Preparing Pork Shoulder:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
- In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, sage, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create a fragrant herb paste.

Cooking Pork Shoulder:

- Roast the pork shoulder in the preheated oven for approximately 3-4 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender and easily pulls apart.
For Finishing:
- Remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 450°F (232°C).
- Return the pork shoulder to the oven for an additional 15-20 minutes, allowing the skin to crisp and brown.
Serving:

- Serve hot with the roasted vegetables and pan juices, accompanied by your favorite sides like mashed potatoes and steamed greens, to create a memorable meal.
