Ingredients
-
1 tablespoon pork rub seasoning, or to taste
-
¼ teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
-
1 (3 pound) 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
Directions
-
Mix pork rub seasoning and Chinese five-spice powder together in a small bowl. Rub all over pork roast.
-
Place sweet potatoes into the bottom of a slow cooker; add brown sugar and butter. Place roast on top and season with salt and pepper.
-
Cook on Low until roast is fork-tender, 6 to 7 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
Cook’s Note
Do not add any water to the slow cooker.
If pork doesn't seem quite done after 7 hours, turn cooker on High for about 45 minutes longer.
