My oven was so full of other prepared dishes being baked that I thougt I would make my sweet potatoes in a crock pot and they truned out so good. I made two pots; one without the nuts and added large marshmellows on top towards the end of cooking just for the little ones at the table. They love them.

1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp grated orange peel
juice of one medium orange
1/2 tsp salt
chopped pecans, toasted (optional)
1 small package of large marshmellows (optional)
* to toast pecans, place in a single layer on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 10 minutes. watch to not burn. remove from oven and let cool.

  • 3. Remove lid and aprinkle pecans or place marshmellows on top before serving, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Prick the sweet potatoes: Pricking the sweet potatoes with a fork helps them cook more evenly and prevents them from bursting.
  • Use a slow cooker liner: Using a slow cooker liner makes cleanup a breeze. Simply lift the liner out of the slow cooker when you're done cooking, and discard it.
  • Don't overcrowd the slow cooker: Make sure there is enough space between the sweet potatoes so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook on low for 6-8 hours: This will ensure that the sweet potatoes are cooked through and tender.
  • Add the spices at the end of cooking: This will help to preserve their flavor.
  • Serve immediately: Orange-spiced sweet potatoes are best served immediately after cooking. They can be topped with butter, brown sugar, or marshmallows.
