Ingredients

2 ½ tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons dried sage
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 (5 pound) pork leg with skin
1 large onion
6 cloves garlic, halved

Steps:

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 onto the pork leg.
Slice onion and separate layers into rings. Place onion rings and garlic halves in the bottom of a roaster. Place pork on top of onions and garlic.
Roast in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 355 degrees F (180 degrees C) and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), about 1 hour 20 minutes more.
Remove from the oven and slice and serve.
