Directions
1.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange the pork roast in the center of a shallow roasting pan.
2.
Grate the zest of the lime into a small bowl. Juice the lime and add 1 tablespoon to the bowl; reserve remaining juice for another use. Stir the remaining ingredients into the bowl. Spread the citrus mixture over the surface of the pork. Surround the pork with the sweet potatoes and onion if desired.
3.
Roast 20 minutes per pound or about 65 to 70 minutes until the internal temperature on an instant read thermometer reaches 145 degrees F. Remove from oven and let roast rest for 10 minutes. Slice slightly over a third of the roast, surround with roasted vegetables if desired and serve.
4.
Reserve the remaining roast, cut in cubes and refrigerate, covered, for two additional meals.
