<bot>: The best way to cook a roast is to preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the roast on a roasting pan and season it with salt, pepper and herbs of your choice. Put the roast in the oven and cook it for 30 minutes per pound. Once cooked, let the roast rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
