A delightful slow-cooked pork roast with tender vegetables, perfect for a comforting family meal.
Pat the pork roast dry with paper towels.
Drying the pork ensures a better sear and helps the seasoning adhere.
Mix the paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.
Mixing the spices thoroughly ensures an even distribution of flavors.
Rub the seasoning mixture all over the pork roast.
Coat the pork evenly for a consistent flavor in every bite.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the pork on all sides until browned.
Searing locks in the juices and adds a rich flavor to the roast.
Deglaze the skillet with chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits, then pour the liquid into the slow cooker.
Deglazing adds depth to the broth and enhances the overall flavor.
Place the potatoes and carrots in the slow cooker, then add the pork roast on top.
Layering the vegetables under the meat allows them to absorb the flavorful juices.
Set the slow cooker to low and cook for 6 hours.
Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to maintain a consistent temperature.
Serve the pork roast sliced with the vegetables on the side, and drizzle with the cooking juices.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
