Season the pig with salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, and garlic.
Brush the pig with olive oil.
Place the pig in a roasting pan and pour the lemon juice over it.
Roast the pig for 2-3 hours, or until the skin is crispy and the meat is cooked through.

You can score the skin of the pig to make it even crispier.
Baste the pig with the pan juices during cooking.
