We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: The night before, prepare all veggies and place in a sealed container in the fridge. In the morning, drizzle some coconut oil in the bottom of the crockpot. Add the veggies and toss well.

  • Step 2: Generously sprinkle the salt and pepper all over the roast and brown in a heavy skillet on all sides. Place the browned roast on top of the veggies in the crockpot; cover with cranberries.

  • Step 3: In a large glass measuring cup, mix the remaining ingredients (except for arrowroot powder and water); pour over the roast. Make sure the liquid covers the veggies. If not, add some broth or water.

  • Step 4: Cover and cook on low, 8-10 hours.

  • Step 5: Remove roast and keep warm. Remove veggies with a slotted spoon and either place with roast, or mash with a potato masher.

  • Step 6: Pour remaining broth into a small pot and bring to low boil. Add in the arrowroot/water mix and turn down to simmer, until broth is thickened.

  • Step 7: Serve with salad and cornbread.
