Ingredients: – 4–6 medium sweet potatoes, washed and scrubbed – 2 tbsp butter (optional, for added richness) – 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey (for extra sweetness)
– 1 tsp cinnamon – ½ tsp salt – ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional, for depth of flavor) – ¼ cup water (to create steam and prevent burning)
Instructions: 1. Prep the Sweet Potatoes – Pierce each sweet potato a few times with a fork. This helps steam escape while cooking.
Layer in the Crockpot – Place the sweet potatoes in the crockpot in a single layer. Add ¼ cup of water.
Slow Cook – Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until fork-tender.
Serve & Customize – Slice open and top with butter, cinnamon, and a drizzle of maple syrup or honey.
