Steps:
- Position a rack in the upper third of the oven; preheat to 450 degrees F. Pierce the pork all over with a fork. Combine the brown sugar, sage, garlic, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a bowl; rub all over the pork.
- Toss the sweet potatoes and onion with 2 tablespoons olive oil and the cayenne on a baking sheet; season with salt and black pepper. Roast, tossing once, until golden, 20 minutes; set aside.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook, turning, until golden, 5 minutes; transfer to the baking sheet with the vegetables (reserve the skillet). Roast until the sweet potatoes are tender and a thermometer inserted into the center of the pork registers 145 degrees F, 11 to 13 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add the broth to the skillet; bring to a simmer over medium heat, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Stir in the mustard, chives and a few grinds of black pepper. Slice the pork; drizzle with the pan sauce. Serve with the roasted vegetables.

Tips:
- Choose the right pork roast: Look for a pork roast that is at least 3 pounds and has a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that the pork is tender and juicy after cooking.
- Sear the pork roast before slow cooking: Searing the pork roast before cooking in the slow cooker will help to brown the meat and add flavor. This can be done in a skillet over medium-high heat for a few minutes per side.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for sweet potatoes, but you can also add other vegetables such as carrots, celery, onions, or parsnips. Simply chop the vegetables into bite-sized pieces and add them to the slow cooker along with the pork roast.
- Season the pork roast and vegetables well: Be sure to season the pork roast and vegetables with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. This will help to enhance the flavor of the dish.
- Cook the pork roast on low for 8-10 hours: Cooking the pork roast on low for 8-10 hours will help to ensure that the meat is fall-apart tender. If you are short on time, you can cook the pork roast on high for 4-6 hours, but the meat may not be as tender.
Conclusion:
This crock-pot garlic pork with sweet potatoes is an easy and delicious meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. The pork roast is fall-apart tender and the sweet potatoes are soft and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
