Chef's Tip

*Recipe quantities are provided as a guide only. Actual ingredient amounts may vary depending on slow cook capacity and serving size. For best results, particularly when preparing soups, stews, and other slow-cooked dishes, ensure ingredients are adequately covered by cooking liquid throughout the cooking process.

Directions

Prepare sweet potatoes

Rinse and scrub the sweet potatoes. Peel them and cut off any blemishes or eyes. Slice into rounds about ½ inch thick.

Add ingredients

Spread the sweet potato slices in the slow cooker. Sprinkle with salt, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Drizzle honey over the top. Gently toss to coat.

Cook

Spread the butter cubes evenly over the sweet potatoes. Cover and cook on HIGH (212°F) for 4-5 hours, until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender. Gently fold the potatoes about once an hour to coat them with the glaze.

Thicken glaze

Transfer the sweet potatoes to a serving bowl. Pour the syrup into a small saucepan. Simmer over medium-low heat for 5–10 minutes, stirring as needed, until thickened.
