Instructions

Pat the pork roast dry with paper towels. Season all over with salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork roast on all sides until browned (about 2–3 minutes per side).
Place the sliced onions and garlic in the bottom of the slow cooker.
Set the seared pork roast on top of the onions.
Add carrots and potatoes around the roast, if using.
Pour in the chicken broth, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce.
Cover and cook on low for 8–10 hours or on high for 4–5 hours, until the pork is tender and shreds easily.

Remove pork from the slow cooker and shred with two forks. Return to the juices to keep warm and moist before serving.

Notes

You can thicken the cooking liquid with a cornstarch slurry if you’d like a gravy.
For added flavor, add a splash of apple cider vinegar or a dash of smoked paprika.
This pork roast is great for meal prep and freezes well.
