This ensures even cooking. • Lightly grease the slow cooker with a bit of butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking. Step 2: Mix the Honey Butter Sauce • In a small bowl, melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop. • Stir in the honey, cinnamon, and salt, whisking until smooth. Step 3: Combine and Cook • Place the sweet potato cubes in the slow cooker. • Pour the honey butter mixture over the top, ensuring all the potatoes are coated. • Gently toss the sweet potatoes to distribute the sauce evenly. Step 4: Slow Cook to Perfection • Set the slow cooker to: • Low for 5-6 hours or • High for 2-3 hours. • Stir once halfway through to ensure even cooking and caramelization. The sweet potatoes are done when they’re fork-tender and coated in a glossy honey butter glaze. Step 5: Serve and Enjoy • Give the sweet potatoes a gentle stir before serving. • Optionally, garnish with chopped pecans for added crunch or top with mini marshmallows and broil for a couple of minutes to get that golden, gooey finish.
