Start with a measuring cup or bowl.

Add olive oil, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning (or any herb of your choice), and vinegar to create a marinade and stir.

If using whole garlic cloves, place them in an air fryer until soft, then smash them with a fork to add to the marinade.

Wash the pork roast and remove any strings.

Make splits throughout the pork to ensure it marinates fully.

Marinate the pork for 24 hours in a Ziploc bag, or at least 5 to 6 hours if short on time.

After marinating, preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C).

Place the marinated pork roast in a roasting pan and cover it with a lid.

Roast the pork for 1 hour.

After 1 hour, cut off the fat from the top of the pork if desired, reserving it for later.

Pour the reserved marinade into a bowl and add a little back onto the pork in the roasting pan.

Return the pork to the oven without the lid for another 40 minutes.

Slice the pork into chunks after the 40 minutes, noting that it is still juicy.

Pour the reserved marinade over the sliced pork pieces.

Cover the roasting pan with the lid and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
