Ingredients

3-4 pounds pork roast (shoulder or loin)
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup chicken broth
1 onion, quartered
2 carrots, chopped (optional)
2 potatoes, chopped (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Pork: Pat the pork roast dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture all over the pork roast.
Set Up the Crockpot: Place the quartered onion at the bottom of the crockpot. If using, add the chopped carrots and potatoes around the onion.
Add the Pork: Place the seasoned pork roast on top of the vegetables in the crockpot. Pour the chicken broth around the roast.
Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Serve: Once cooked, remove the pork roast from the crockpot and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with the cooked vegetables and some of the broth drizzled over the top.
