Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Pork Roast is a dish that embodies comfort and satisfaction, perfect for any family dinner or casual gathering. The tender pork roast, infused with a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce, creates a delightful flavor profile that will have everyone asking for seconds.
Season the pork roast generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, ketchup, minced garlic, and ground ginger to create the honey garlic sauce.
Place the seasoned pork roast in the slow cooker. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the roast, ensuring it is well coated.
Cover the slow cooker with a lid and set it to low heat. Cook for 6 to 8 hours, or until the pork is fork-tender and easily shreds.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, about 30 minutes before serving, remove the pork roast, whisk together cornstarch with a little water to make a slurry, and stir it into the sauce in the slow cooker. Allow it to thicken while the pork cools.
Once cooked, remove the pork roast from the slow cooker and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing or shredding it.
Serve the pork roast drizzled with the honey garlic sauce, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
