Of course! If you prefer a stronger or milder flavor, simply adjust the amount of each spice to taste. Keep in mind that some spices like garlic powder will lose their potency if used in excess.

The cooking time will depend on the size of your roast and your preferred level of doneness. As a general rule, cook the pork roast at 325°F (165°C) for about 20 minutes per pound, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
