Low Carb Crock Pot Teriyaki Pork Roast

I found this crock pot teriyaki pork roast recipe while scanning through cookbooks looking for a way to prepare the pork loin roast I had picked up on sale.

I wanted something quick and easy for dinner that would cook itself in the slow cooker while I went off to get my hair done.

It's from Slow-Cooker Recipes Cookbook (Everyday Cookbook Collection) (affiliate link), a Gooseberry Patch cookbook.

Teriyaki Pork Recipe Notes

I had everything I needed to make this easy crock pot teriyaki pork roast recipe, except apple juice. By substituting sparkling apple cider for apple juice, I was able to avoid a trip to the grocery store 🙂

Low Carb Crock Pot Teriyaki Pork Roast

I've learned the hard way that pork loin can overcook easily, just like chicken breasts. The recipe said to cook on LOW for 7 to 8 hours. But past experience told me that was WAY too long.

My roast was done when I got home from having my hair done, after about 3-½ hours. If you don't use an instant-read thermometer (affiliate link), I urge you to make the switch. It takes a lot of the guesswork and stress out of trying decide whether a roast is done.

To make things easier for when dinnertime rolled around, I pulled the roast out of the crock pot and made the sauce. After the roast had rested for about 15 minutes, I sliced the meat as thin as I could and placed it back in the cooker. I poured the sauce all over the pork slices and set the crock pot to warm.

I served the crock pot teriyaki pork roast recipe with roasted carrots and Brussels sprouts and "soo foo" a blend of brown rice, grains and lentils Mom had given me.
