    What makes these slow cooker sweet potatoes delicious and healthy

    • sweet potatoes
    • aluminum foil
    • olive oil

    How to make these slow cooker baked sweet potatoes

    Start by washing sweet potatoes and drying completely. (I usually cook about 4 at a time, but you can do up to 6 if you have a large slow cooker) Prick each potato with a fork a few times, and place each on an individual sheet of aluminum foil.

    Drizzle each potato with about ½ teaspoon of olive oil, and rub over sweet potato completely. Wrap each potato with the aluminum foil, and place in your slow cooker. Cook potatoes on high for 4-5 hours, or on low for 8-10 hours, until potatoes are soft. Remove from slow cooker with a pair of tongs or pot holder, as potatoes will be hot, and unwrap from aluminum foil before serving.

    Pro Tips

    • Wrapping in aluminum foil makes clean up super easy!
    • My favorite toppings are a little butter and cinnamon, or peanut butter! ( I know, I'm a little strange, but it's delish!)
    • Throw these in your slow cooker in the morning, and cook on low to have them ready for dinner.

    FAQs

    Do I have to wrap them in aluminum foil?

    You don't have to wrap them in foil, but it makes clean up A LOT easier, and also keeps the potatoes warmer when serving. If you don't have any foil, you can simply leave it out, and cook as-is.

    Do these baked sweet potatoes need to be refrigerated?

    If you have leftovers after baking, yes. I would unwrap the potatoes from the foil, let cool completely, and store in an airtight container before refrigerating up to 4 days.
