Ingredients
1 medium butternut squash (about 1 1/2 pounds), peeled, seeded and cut into 1-inch cubes
2 medium shallots, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup apple cider

1 1/2 pounds Whole30-compliant pork tenderloin, trimmed
Fresh thyme (optional)
Directions
In a 4-quart slow cooker, combine the squash, shallots, cider, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. In a small bowl, stir together the paprika, dried thyme and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; sprinkle over the pork. Add the pork to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours or on high for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
Transfer the pork to a cutting board. Let rest for 5 minutes, then cut into 1/2-inch slices. Strain the cooking liquid. Drizzle servings of the pork and vegetables with some of the cooking liquid. If desired, sprinkle with additional pepper and fresh thyme and serve.
