Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds pork shoulder roast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups keto-friendly BBQ sauce
- 0.25 cup apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon liquid smoke
Instructions
Pat the pork shoulder roast dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
In a small bowl, mix together smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, ground black pepper, and salt to create a dry rub.
Rub the olive oil all over the pork shoulder, then cover the pork liberally with the spice mixture, ensuring an even coating.
Place the seasoned pork shoulder into a slow cooker.
In a separate bowl, mix together the keto-friendly BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, and liquid smoke until well combined.
Pour the sauce mixture over the pork shoulder in the slow cooker, ensuring the pork is well-coated.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Once cooked, use two forks to shred the pork directly in the slow cooker. Mix with the sauce completely.
Serve the pulled pork hot, garnishing with additional BBQ sauce if desired. Enjoy your keto-friendly meal as is or atop a bed of lettuce or keto-friendly buns!
