Sunday dinner means a lot of things to a lot of people. It can be the time you gather with friends and family, or the time you are relaxing for just a little longer before starting another work week. In either case, an easy and delicious dinner is the perfect way to enjoy Sunday evening—or any evening! This recipe is simple, affordable and delightfully delicious.

You will start this dinner by coating the roast in oil and then sprinkling the spices over it. This will cook for 30 minutes in a high heat oven to blast the roast with heat and seal in those perfect flavors. Then, you will reduce the heat and bake for another hour. At that point, you will add the vegetables and apple juice to the roast, which will cook the veggies, add flavor, and keep the roast sweet and juicy. Bake that for another hour to two hours until the pork and vegetables are tender.
