Season the pork shoulder with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Rub the spices all over the meat to ensure it is evenly coated.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork shoulder on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Place the seared pork shoulder in a slow cooker. Pour the sugar-free BBQ sauce over the top, coating the pork evenly.
Cover the slow cooker and cook the pork on low for 8 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulled apart with a fork.
While the pork is cooking, prepare the coleslaw. In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, and carrot.
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and erythritol until well combined. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss to coat evenly.
Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and use two forks to shred the meat. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and stir to combine with any remaining BBQ sauce.
To assemble the sandwiches, open the low-carb buns and place a generous portion of BBQ pulled pork on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a scoop of coleslaw and cover with the top bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious low-carb BBQ pulled pork sandwiches!
