-
In a small bowl, combine garlic, oregano, olive oil, orange juice, salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix well.

Rub the mixture all over the pork shoulder, ensuring it’s well coated. Marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight in the fridge.

Increase the oven temperature to 450°F (230°C). Remove the foil and roast for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown.

Serve the pernil hot with the pan juices as a sauce.
