Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup fresh orange juice, 1/4 cup fresh lime juice, 6 minced garlic cloves, 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper to make the mojo marinade.
2. Step 2: Add 2 lbs 1-inch pork shoulder cubes to the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor.
3. Step 3: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with foil.
4. Step 4: Spread the marinated pork cubes on one side of the sheet pan. Toss 2 large peeled and cubed sweet potatoes and 1 large sliced red bell pepper with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt, then spread on the other side of the sheet pan.
5. Step 5: Roast everything for 30-35 minutes, flipping the pork and vegetables halfway through, until pork is cooked through and vegetables are tender and caramelized at the edges.
6. Step 6: Remove from oven and let pork rest for 5 minutes before serving alongside the roasted sweet potatoes and peppers.
