Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 lb boneless pork loin roast well-marbled for extra juiciness
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil (or avocado oil)
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder (freshly ground if you have it)
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 2 tsp dried rosemary (crushed between fingers to release oils)
  • 2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp kosher salt (or sea salt)
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth (or dry white wine for a hint of tang)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, sliced into rings
  • 4 cloves garlic, smashed (no need to peel completely)
  • 2 carrots, cut into 2" chunks (optional, for natural sweetness)
  • 2 stalks celery, cut into 2" chunks (optional, for depth)

Instructions
 

  • Pat the pork roast dry with paper towels—this helps the herb crust stick.
  • In a bowl, whisk olive oil with garlic powder, onion powder, rosemary, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture over the roast.
  • Layer onion, smashed garlic, carrots, and celery in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • Place the seasoned roast on top of the veggies, pour chicken broth (or wine) around it. Cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or HIGH for 4-5 hours.
  • Let the roast rest for at least 10 minutes under foil before slicing.
  • For a crisper crust, transfer the roast to a baking sheet and broil on HIGH for 2–3 minutes.

Notes

Choose pasture-raised pork for leaner and more flavorful meat. This dish is ideal for meal prep or festive gatherings.
