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

Step 1
Mix pork rub seasoning and Chinese five-spice powder together in a small bowl. Rub all over pork roast.

Step 2
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.

Step 3
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 Notes:

Do not add any water to the slow cooker.
