1 tablespoon pork rub seasoning, or to taste
¼ teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
1 (3 pounds) pork loin roast
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into bite-size pieces
½ cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons butter
salt and ground black pepper to taste
HOW TO MAKE SLOW COOKER PORK LOIN ROAST WITH BROWN SUGAR AND SWEET POTATOES
Step 1: Combine the Chinese five-spice powder and pork rub seasoning in a small mixing bowl until incorporated.
Step 2: Generously rub both sides of the pork roast with the mixed seasonings.
Step 3: In the bottom of a slow cooker, arrange the potatoes and add in the butter and brown sugar.
Step 4: Over the potatoes, add the seasoned pork roast. To taste, season with salt and pepper.
Step 5: Cook on low for about 6 to 7 hours until the roast is tender or the thermometer in the centre registered 63 degrees C.
Step 6: When ready to serve, place the roast with potatoes and sauce on a clean serving plate. Enjoy!
Notes:
No need to add in water as the potatoes and pork already have natural liquid.
If the roast is almost done, about 7 hours and 45 minutes after, adjust the setting to high.
