Ingredients

• 4 pounds Pork shoulder (or pork butt)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Erythritol
• 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 6 ounces Sugar-free tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon Liquid smoke
• 1 cup Chicken broth

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

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

Step 3

Rub the olive oil all over the pork shoulder. Evenly coat the pork with the spice mix, making sure to cover all sides.

Step 4

Place the seasoned pork in a large roasting pan. Pour the apple cider vinegar and chicken broth into the bottom of the pan.

Step 5

Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil or a lid and place it in the preheated oven.

Step 6

Bake for 4 to 5 hours, or until the pork is very tender and easily falls apart.

Step 7

While the pork is cooking, prepare the BBQ sauce: In a saucepan, combine the sugar-free tomato paste, liquid smoke, a pinch of salt, and some black pepper. Stir over low heat, and add a little water if it's too thick.

Step 8

Once the pork is done, remove it from the oven. Using forks, shred the pork directly in the pan, mixing it with all the juices.

Step 9

Stir the BBQ sauce into the shredded pork until well combined.

Step 10

Serve hot. Enjoy your Keto Smoky BBQ Pork with a side of low-carb vegetables or in lettuce wraps for a complete meal.
