Pulled Pork Sliders
If you love Pulled Pork Sliders then why shouldn’t you be able to have it?
Pulled Pork Sliders can be a part of a healthy diet.
It is all about balance and preparing your favorites in as healthy a way as possible.
For the pulled pork one of the things we do is use the healthy, homemade My Whole Food Life 5 minute BBQ Sauce. There is no high fructose corn syrup and the taste is spot on.
The BBQ flavor is low key. However, adding it to the slow cooker infuses the meat with a great BBQ flavor. If you want a more pronounced BBQ flavor then add more sauce to the meat after it is shredded.

Description
The BBQ flavor is low key. However, adding it to the slow cooker infuses the meat with a great BBQ flavor. If you want a more pronounced BBQ flavor then add more sauce to the meat after it is shredded.
Ingredients
- 2-pound pork shoulder roast (use Jackfruit for a vegan option)
- 1 T. kosher salt
- 1 ½ t. black salt
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- ¾ cup prepared BBQ sauce
- 2 whole cloves garlic, smashed, peels removed, roughly chopped
- 1 small yellow onion, chopped
- 2 T. shallot, minced
- slider buns
- red cabbage, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Add the pork shoulder to slow cooker and season with salt and pepper.
- Add apple cider vinegar, BBQ sauce, garlic, onion, and shallot.
- Cover and cook for 8 hours on low.
- Carefully remove from slow cooker and place on a serving platter or cutting board reserved for meat.
- Using a fork in each hand, start “pulling” in two directions, working on one small section of pork at a time. The goal is to “shred” the meat into small strands.
- Place Pulled Pork into a serving container or add it directly to the slider buns.
- Top with red cabbage for some crunch, color, and healthy goodness.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
All you need to do is put the ingredients into your slow cooker first thing in the morning and you’ll have a yummy, easy dinner waiting for you at the end of the day.

Mmm, love the fact that this can be part of a healthy diet. As you say, it’s all about getting the balance right.
Balance is key for everything, right?
The recipe sounds delicious, I would just have to use my sow carb buns and lunch is served.

That would be a brilliant substitution.
Looks great, however, I do not eat meat. I could supplement with jack-fruit.
That is what we are playing around with this weekend.
I’m vegetarian so wouldn’t make a recipe like this but I think any meal can be made in a healthy manner nowadays with some alternatives.
Yes, I think so too.. My son is vegetarian and is playing with this recipe and using Jackfruit instead of pork. I will update the recipe once we know if it is a success.
We love pulled pork! I’m always on the look out for more recipes so thank you!
You are very welcome. I hope that you will enjoy it.
