How to Make Slow Cooker Pot Roast with Shallots and Baby Carrots:

I generously season the roast with sea salt, pepper, garlic powder and Herbs de Provence (a combination of savory, thyme, rosemary, fennel and lavender.)

I brown my roast in a cast iron pan (like this) before placing it in the crock pot.

This slow cooker roast with vegetables is a family favorite Sunday dinner. It's an entire dinner in one crock pot. The meat is SO tender and delicious! This is a must-make!

Let’s Chat About Baby Carrots

I like to make this recipe with real baby carrots. Don’t fall for those fake baby carrots at the grocery store that look like a stumpy thumb. Those are actually full size carrots that are deemed unfit to sell as is. So they are placed in a tumbler and ground down to those little stubs and then falsely labeled ‘baby’ carrots.

Real baby carrots are just that! Young carrots, pulled from the soil while still tender. If you can’t find real baby carrots use regular carrots.

A beautiful savory roast. If crock pot carrots aren't your jam, leave them out and roast carrots in oven separately. Links above.
