Keto Slow Cooker Pot Roast Ingredients

This low carb recipe comes together with simple ingredients that fit into a keto diet. 

Seasonings- Garlic Powder, oregano, thyme, parsley, bay leaves, paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper. 

Meat- You can also use a different cut of meat, choose whichever you think is the best cut of meat but be sure to avoid choosing a tough cut of meat with a lot of visible connective tissue.  

Broth- You can use beef broth, beef stock, or bone broth for this recipe. I use beef broth.

Vegetables- Radishes fit well into a low-carb diet and carrots are great in moderation. If you are trying to cut down your carb intake you can use fewer carrots 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.
