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.
