Slow Cooker Sweet Potatoes
These slow cooker sweet potatoes are an easy, cozy side dish that fills your kitchen with warm cinnamon and honey aromas while you go about your day. Perfect for holidays or a laid-back Sunday dinner, they’re sweet, buttery, and practically effortless.
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes peeled & thinly sliced (about 1/4 inch)
- 1/4 cup honey local honey if possible; maple syrup is a good substitute
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted; salted butter works too, just adjust added salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon or more, if you love extra cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt to balance the sweetness
Instructions
- Place the sliced sweet potatoes in the slow cooker. No need to arrange them perfectly — rustic works just fine.
- In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, honey, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Pour the mixture over the sweet potatoes. Use a spoon or your hands to toss them gently until evenly coated.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4–5 hours, until the sweet potatoes are tender and have soaked up all that buttery sweetness.
- Gently stir before serving to coat all the pieces with the sauce at the bottom. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
Maple syrup makes a lovely swap for honey if that’s what you have on hand. Try adding a pinch of nutmeg for extra warmth.
