Slow Cooker Bone Broth

Ingredients

• 3 pounds beef bones, or more to taste
• 3 carrots, chopped
• 2 stalks celery, chopped
• 1 onion, chopped
• 5 cloves garlic, smashed
• 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
• 2 bay leaves
• Cold water to cover
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• Kosher salt to taste

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; spread beef bones out on prepared baking sheet.

Roast bones in the preheated oven until browned, 25 to 30 minutes.

Place carrots, celery, onion, garlic, peppercorns, and bay leaves in a slow cooker. Place roasted bones over vegetables; pour in enough cold water to cover bones. Add apple cider vinegar and kosher salt.

Cook on Low for 8 hours. Pour broth through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl and discard any strained solids.
