Step 1

In a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker, whisk together the cider, tomato paste, flour, Worcestershire, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Add the parsnips, sweet potatoes, onion, garlic, and rosemary and toss to combine.

Transfer the roast to a cutting board and slice. Serve with the vegetables.
