Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 8 hours

Additional Time 10 minutes

Total Time 8 hours 25 minutes

Ingredients

3 lb boneless pork loin

2 tbsp olive oil
½ cup maple syrup
¼ cup Dijon mustard

3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 cup chicken broth

1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp smoked paprika (optional)

3 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (optional, for thickening)
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

Prepare the Pork Loin: Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels and season it with salt, pepper, and paprika for extra depth of flavor.
Sear the Pork (Optional but Recommended): Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork loin on all sides for 3 minutes per side until golden brown. This step helps lock in moisture and enhances flavor.
Prepare the Maple Dijon Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, and chicken broth.

Assemble in the Slow Cooker: Place the cubed sweet potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker. Lay the pork loin on top and pour the maple Dijon sauce over it. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours, basting occasionally with the sauce.
Thicken the Sauce (Optional): Once the pork is done, transfer it to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, pour the sauce into a saucepan and bring it to a simmer. Stir in a cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water) and let it thicken for 2-3 minutes.
Slice and Serve: Slice the pork and drizzle with the thickened sauce. Serve alongside the tender sweet potatoes and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

For an extra glaze, brush some maple Dijon sauce onto the pork and broil for 3-5 minutes before serving.
Pair with a green salad or steamed vegetables for a well-rounded meal.
Make extra sauce to drizzle over rice or quinoa.
