Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 medium sweet potatoes washed and scrubbed
  • 2 tsp olive oil or butter optional, for brushing
  • 1 tsp salt for flavor
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon optional
Optional Toppings
  • sour cream, cheddar cheese, or chives optional
  • maple syrup or honey optional, for sweet version

Equipment

  • Crockpot

Method
 

  1. Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Pat them completely dry.
  2. Brush each sweet potato lightly with olive oil or butter, if using. Sprinkle with salt and cinnamon.
  3. Place the sweet potatoes into the Crockpot. No need to add water.
  4. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until fork tender.
  5. Slice open, fluff with a fork, and top with your desired toppings. Serve warm.

Notes

Use similarly sized sweet potatoes for even cooking. Leftovers can be mashed and turned into soup or stored in the fridge for up to 5 days. Wrap in foil for easier clean-up.
