Ingredients

• 3 pounds pork shoulder
• 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup keto-friendly BBQ sauce
• 2 tablespoons erythritol (optional for sweetening)
• 2 cups sugar-free coleslaw mix
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (for coleslaw)
• 1 teaspoon celery seed
• 4 pieces low-carb keto sandwich buns

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

Step 2

Rub the spice mixture all over the pork shoulder.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork shoulder on all sides until browned.

Step 4

Place the seared pork shoulder into a slow cooker. Pour the apple cider vinegar over the pork.

Step 5

Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the pork is tender and can be pulled apart easily with a fork.

Step 6

Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker, shred it using two forks, and discard any excess fat you don't want.

Step 7

Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and add the keto-friendly BBQ sauce and erythritol, if using. Stir to combine and keep warm.

Step 8

For the coleslaw, in a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and celery seed until smooth.

Step 9

Add the coleslaw mix to the mayonnaise mixture and toss until well coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 10

To assemble the sandwiches, slice the low-carb buns in half and lightly toast them if desired.

Step 11

Place a generous portion of pulled pork on the bottom half of each bun, top with a scoop of coleslaw, and cover with the top bun.

Step 12

Serve the sandwiches immediately and enjoy your keto-friendly BBQ delight!
