Place pork in a plastic roasting bag and put in a roasting pan with a rack. Let marinate in the refrigerator, 8 to 48 hours.

Take pork out of the refrigerator, uncover, and bring to room temperature, 1 to 2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
Roast pork skin-side down in the preheated oven until golden-brown, about 2 hours.

Flip pork and continue roasting, skin-side up, until juices run clear and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), 2 to 4 hours more.

Recipe Tip
If you don't have a mortar and pestle, mash the garlic paste in a sturdy bowl with the back of a spoon.
