    Pork Roast and Pumpkin Pie Spiced Sweet Potatoes | 5DollarDinners.com

    I discovered long ago that I could get my kids to eat any orange vegetable if I season it with pumpkin pie spices. WINNING! 

    I decided to take that idea and kick it up a notch and apply it to Sunday Dinner.

    This is an easy one-pot dinner. It is also quite frugal for a fancy Sunday dinner. Pork roasts go on sale for as little as $1.49/lb.  in my area, and sweet potatoes have been on sale for around $.50/lb.

    Pork Roast with Pumpkin Pie Spiced Sweet Potatoes

    I discovered long ago that I could get my kids to eat any orange vegetable if I season it with pumpkin pie spices. WINNING! 
    Prep Time10 minutes
    Cook Time1 hour 30 minutes
    Servings - 4 servings

    Ingredients 

    • 3 lb. pork shoulder roast
    • 1 Tbsp olive oil
    • 3 medium sweet potatoes or yams
    • 1/4 cup orange juice
    • 1/4 cup honey
    • 1 tsp cinnamon
    • 1/2 tsp ginger
    • 1/4 tsp nutmeg

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350 F.
    • Add olive oil to an oven safe pan. Place roast in pan and brown on all sides over a medium-high heat.
    • While the meat is browning, mix orange juice, honey, and spices in a small bowl.
    • Once the meat is browned, pour half of the honey spice mix over the roast. Placea lid on the pot (or cover tightly with foil)and place it in the oven. Cook for 30 minutes.
    • While the meat is cooking, wash and coarsely chop the sweet potatoes. I leave the skin on.
    • Add the sweet potatoes to the pot and drizzle the remaining honey spice mix over the potatoes. Toss to coat the potatoes. Place lid back on pot and cook for 1 hour or until the roast reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees and the sweet potatoes are fork tender.

      This was one great recipe and it makes plenty of leftovers to turn into pork and beans.

      What about doing this in the crock pot? 4 hours on slow after browning the meat. Would that work?

        That’s what I was wondering too. I’d like to make this in the crock pot while I am at work but have had problems with a pork roast drying out in the crock pot before I get home, even when cooking on low.

          Yes, you can do it in the slow cooker as well. If your slow cooker is a hotter model, then cooking it all day while at work may not be the best for you. You can cook it on the weekend perhaps so you are home to watch it.
