Slow Cooker Maple Roast is one of the best ways to serve roast.
Slow cooker roast is nothing new really, recipes have been around for years; however, slow cooker maple roast brings new life to pot roast.
My family really isn’t a huge fan of roast; however, maple roast? They LOVE it! My kids, of course, think the vegetables taste like candy, so that helps.
In the grand scheme of things though as far as serving size goes, you are not using much syrup versus the amount that slow cooker maple roast makes.
Do you need to sear the roast before you put it in the Crockpot or Slow Cooker?
The simple answer, no. I do not sear the roast first; however, if that is your preference then, by all means, go for it. Searing does give it a more enhanced flavor; however, I skip it more for time reasons than anything else.
What cut of beef should you use for a roast?
I suggest using a chuck roast, typically you want to stay around 3 pounds for this. It creates a very tender roast that will simply melt in your mouth.
Can you make Slow Cooker Maple Roast in the Ninja Foodi?
YES! I make this regularly in my Ninja Foodi, it’s a great Ninja Foodi Recipe. All you need to do is use the slow cooker function and the rest of the recipe is all the same.
If you make this in the Ninja Foodi, use the pressure cooker lid and be sure it’s set to ‘vent’, then continue cooking using the slow cooker function.
This is a great Ninja Foodi Roast Recipe, if you prefer too you can purchase a glass lid for the Ninja Foodi to use. This is a great option so you can check in on the food too without removing the lid.
How do you make Slow Cooker Maple Roast?

How does Slow Cooker Maple Roast taste?
The subtle taste of maple just compliments this so well. It’s tender, juicy and perfect. It can be complimented even more with a delicious gravy too; however, I opted to just use some of the juice in the slow cooker.

Yum, great recipe to put on and get on with the day!
What do you do at the end of the cooking time? Do you release the steam slowly or rapidly?
For the Ninja Foodi, this will use the slow cooker function, so the lid should be secured and set to ‘vent’. It will not need to release steam, because it will slow cook for 8 hours vented.
I made this recipe, but had to reduce ingredients, because I’m only cooking for 1. So it was partly a guessing game! I set the foodi to slow cook on low for 8 hours, and discovered after 6 hours that the carrots were still not cooked well, so I set it to high for the final 2 hours. I had used small (very small) potatoes quartered and small carrots cut in pieces, so I was surprised that after cooking 8 hours that things didn’t seem cooked as well as when I do this dish in the oven. Did I do something wrong? Should I have slow cooked it on high the entire 8 hours?
I’m new to my Ninja Foodi and am blindly finding my way. Thank you!
We always do low for 8 hours, so I’m not quite sure this is a regular roast recipe for us. I have heard however that some people have had issues with the foodi with the slow cooker function, not getting hot enough. I’ve never had that issue with it. So I wonder if that’s the case. It should have been fully soft after 8 hours.
