• ¼ cup oil
• 1 (12 fluid ounce) bottle hard apple cider

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a large roasting pan with butter.

Step 2

Combine potatoes, apples, carrots, and sweet onion in the bottom of the roasting pan and sprinkle with rosemary.

Step 3

Season roast with salt and pepper on all sides and rub with sage. Dust with flour on all sides.

Step 4

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown roast on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. Add roast to the pan.

Step 5

Combine hard apple cider, apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup oil, and honey in a bowl and whisk well; pour over roast and vegetables. Cover with a lid or aluminum foil.

Step 6

Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the roast reads at least 150 degrees F (65 degrees C), about 1 hour more. Remove from oven, cover, and allow to rest for 30 minutes.
