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
Directions
Step 1
Pat the pork shoulder roast dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, ground black pepper, and salt to create a dry rub.
Step 3
Rub the olive oil all over the pork shoulder, then cover the pork liberally with the spice mixture, ensuring an even coating.
Step 4
Place the seasoned pork shoulder into a slow cooker.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, mix together the keto-friendly BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, and liquid smoke until well combined.
Step 6
Pour the sauce mixture over the pork shoulder in the slow cooker, ensuring the pork is well-coated.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Once cooked, use two forks to shred the pork directly in the slow cooker. Mix with the sauce completely.
Step 9
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!
