Ingredients
-
1 teaspoon fennel seeds, crushed
-
½ teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
-
½ teaspoon garlic powder
-
½ teaspoon paprika
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
-
1 (1 1/2 to 2 pound) boneless pork shoulder roast
-
1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
-
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
Directions
-
Combine fennel seeds, oregano, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Trim fat from meat. Sprinkle the fennel seed mixture evenly over the meat; rub in with your fingers. If necessary, cut the meat to fit into a 3 1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker (see Tip). Set aside.
-
Place sweet potatoes in the cooker. Add the meat. Pour broth over mixture in the cooker.
-
Cover and cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours or on High for 4 to 5 hours.
-
Remove the meat from the cooker, reserving cooking juices. Slice the meat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the sweet potatoes to a medium bowl. Use a potato masher to mash the sweet potatoes, adding enough of the cooking juices, if necessary, to moisten. Serve the meat with the mashed sweet potatoes.
Tips
Tip: For easy cleanup, line your slow cooker with a disposable slow cooker liner. Add ingredients as directed in recipe. Once your dish is finished cooking, spoon the food out of your slow cooker and simply dispose of the liner. Do not lift or transport the disposable liner with food inside.
Equipment: 3 1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
