I need more sweet potatoes in my life and this is an easy way to serve them as a main course for dinner. Crock Pot, to the rescue for a healthy, speedy, weeknight dinner: Loaded Slow Cooker Sweet Potatoes.
Before you dash out the door in the morning, wash up some whole sweet potatoes, prick them with a fork, rub ’em with salt and oil, wrap them in foil and toss them in your slow cooker on low. 8 hours later, you can peel back the foil to find a perfectly cooked sweet potato. From there, you can dress them up how ever you would like. On this particular evening, we’re tossing in diced chicken, fresh spinach, diced peppers and a green goddess yogurt.
Of course, sweet potatoes are super versatile and you could top them with anything from beef chili to caramelized bananas and marshmallows. This rendition, though, is super light and filling and the kids mowed it down…fast!
How do you top your sweet potatoes? Next time, try them in the slow cooker!
