Prep: 15

Cook: 4

Total: 4 15

Yield:4 sweet potatoes

Wash sweet potatoes under running water, making sure to scrub away any surface dirt from skins.
Once sweet potatoes are washed, use fork to prick holes at least ¼-inch deep into skin of each sweet potato. Cover all sides of sweet potatoes with holes.
Place sweet potatoes in bottom of slow cooker. Note: no need to dry sweet potatoes first, but be sure sweet potatoes are not dripping wet.
Cover slow cooker with lid. Set slow cooker to low for 5 to 8 hours or high for 3 to 4 hours (see Notes). Cook sweet potatoes, undisturbed, until vegetables are tender and fork tines can be easily inserted through skin to center of potatoes.
Carefully transfer cooked sweet potatoes from slow cooker to serving plates. Slice sweet potatoes open or cut sweet potatoes in half, then dress as desired and serve. Alternately, transfer cooked sweet potatoes to meal prep containers and let cool completely before refrigerating until ready to eat.
