Paleo Pork "Chicken Broth" Rub Glaze Slow Cooker

This easy Keto Pulled Pork In The Instant Pot or Slow Cooker is fall-apart tender with lots of flavors and a hint of smokiness. It can be served with slaw, roasted veggies, made into BBQ sandwiches, or however your heart desires! Plus, it can also be made paleo and whole30-friendly.

This keto pulled pork has become one of our new favorite recipes.

It's so easy to just throw all of the ingredients in a crockpot or Instant Pot. Then when it's time to eat, you have BBQ that is fall-apart tender with lots of flavor with a hint of smokiness.

It can be served as-is with BBQ sauce or with a side of veggies or coleslaw.

These are also great as BBQ pulled pork sandwiches if you're not on a whole30!

Simply use these Keto Hamburger Buns or Paleo Hamburger Buns 😀

The sweetener

For whole30, simply omit the sweetener. If I'm not doing a whole30, though, I like to add it because I love myself some sweet BBQ!

For keto, any low-carb sweetener will work! I prefer to use allulose, xylitol, or monk fruit because these are low carb and have NO aftertaste!

However, an erythritol-based sweetener can also be used. There is so little sweetener in the recipe that the aftertaste should hardly be detectable.

And also, allulose is only 70% as sweet as other sweeteners. So if you choose allulose you may need to add a bit extra.

For paleo, use coconut palm sugar.

The BBQ sauce

My favorite by far is this Keto bbq Sauce from All Day I Dream About Food for the bbq sauce! It's easy to make and tastes just like the kind I grew up on.

It's not overly tomato-y and has a deep, rich, sweet taste. No one will ever know the ribs are low-carb!

For whole30 and paleo, I love to use Primal Kitchen or Tessamae's BBQ sauce.

But feel free to use any BBQ sauce that you prefer.
