Slow Cooker Honey Butter Sweet Potatoes – Effortless, Sweet & Irresistible

🍴 Ingredients (Serves 6–8)
3 lbs (1.4 kg) sweet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced (¼-inch rounds or half-moons)
½ cup (115g / 1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
⅓ cup (80ml) honey (pure, not imitation)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp salt
½ cup (120ml) water or orange juice (for steam and moisture)
🌱 Vegan option: Use coconut oil + maple syrup instead of butter/honey
🥜 Nut-free, gluten-free, egg-free — safe for most allergies

🍳 Instructions
Prep the sweet potatoes
Peel and slice evenly — uniform size ensures even cooking
No need to soak or rinse — just place directly in the slow cooker
Add ingredients
Layer sweet potatoes in the slow cooker (6-quart or larger)
Drizzle with melted butter and honey
Sprinkle with cinnamon and salt
Pour water or orange juice around the edges (not over the top)
Cook low and slow
Cover and cook on:
Low for 6–7 hours, or
High for 3–4 hours
Stir gently once halfway through (optional — but helps distribute glaze)
Serve warm
Taste and adjust sweetness if needed
Spoon into a serving dish and drizzle with extra glaze from the pot
🔥 Pro Tip: For deeper color and caramelization, transfer to an oven-safe dish and broil 3–5 minutes before serving.
