Ingredients
  

3-4 pounds pork shoulder or pork loin

6 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped (or 2 teaspoons dried)

2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped (or 2 teaspoons dried)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 cup low-sodium chicken broth

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1 onion, sliced

3 carrots, cut into chunks

3 potatoes, cut into chunks

Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pork: In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create a herb paste. Rub this mixture generously over the pork roast, ensuring it’s well-coated on all sides.

    Layer Vegetables: In the bottom of the slow cooker, layer the sliced onion, carrots, and potatoes. This will create a bed for the pork and infuse the vegetables with flavor.

      Add the Pork: Place the seasoned pork roast on top of the vegetables in the slow cooker.

        Mix Broth and Vinegar: In a separate bowl, mix the chicken broth and apple cider vinegar together. Pour this mixture over the pork roast and vegetables in the slow cooker.

          Cook: Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours. The roast is done when it is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

            Serve: Once cooked, remove the pork roast from the slow cooker and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with the roasted vegetables and drizzle some of the cooked broth over the top for extra flavor. Garnish with fresh parsley.

              Enjoy: Savor the delicious slow-cooked flavors of your garlic herb pork roast with your choice of sides, such as a fresh salad or crusty bread.
