Keto Slow Cooker Pot Roast Ingredients

This low carb recipe comes together with simple ingredients that fit into a keto diet. To get all of the exact measurements, head to the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

Roast– I use a 2 and a half to 3 pound chuck roast. You can use a different cut of meat, choose whichever you think is the best but be sure to avoid choosing a tough cut of meat with a lot of visible connective tissue.  

Seasonings– This recipe uses a flavorful combination of garlic powder, oregano, thyme, parsley, bay leaves, paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper. 

Broth- You can use homemade or store-bought beef broth, beef stock, or even bone broth for this recipe. I used store-bought beef broth.

Vegetables– Radishes fit well into a low-carb diet and carrots are great in moderation.

More Ways to Cut Carbs

If you are trying to cut down your carb intake you can use fewer carrots in this crockpot roast since they contain about 7 g net carbs per 100 grams.

Cauliflower is a nice keto-friendly alternative to use in this keto recipe if you want to cut back on the carbs even more.
