2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into bite-size pieces
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons butter
salt and ground black pepper to taste

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