I'm a big fan of root vegetables and this recipe turned out fantastic. I even added some beets as well. Company had very positive things to say.

Reviewed on Dec. 05, 2011 by mnccaleb

I switched out the veggies to ones we liked, but this roast was awesome! We loved the sweet flavor and the bread crumbs.

Reviewed on Dec. 01, 2011 by Pinstripes

I personally loved having different veggies to serve, especially seasonal ones. The pork turned out fine, even though I didn't use molasses. Good recipe.

Reviewed on Nov. 08, 2011 by milleram

I agree that the vegetables weren't something I would make again, but the pork was amazing and tender. We'll definitely be making the roast again--just pairing it with veggies and starches that we like better than these.
