🍠 The Secret to Perfect Sweet Potatoes
The magic of this recipe lies in the slow cooker. Cooking sweet potatoes low and slow allows their natural sugars to develop fully, creating a deep, rich caramel flavor while keeping the slices tender and creamy.
When you add a few carefully chosen ingredients, they turn into a luscious side dish that tastes like a cross between candied yams and buttery sweet potato casserole — but with almost no effort.
🧈 You’ll Only Need 4 Ingredients
-
3–4 medium sweet potatoes — peeled and thinly sliced
-
¼ cup melted butter — or coconut oil for a dairy-free version
-
¼ cup brown sugar — light or dark, depending on your sweetness preference
-
1 teaspoon cinnamon — or a pinch of pumpkin spice for warmth
(Optional but amazing: A drizzle of maple syrup or a sprinkle of salt to balance the sweetness.)
