Crock Pot Glazed Sweet Potatoes

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 ½ pounds sweet potatoes

  approximately 3 medium size
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ cup packed brown sugar
• ¼ cup real maple syrup
• ⅓ cup butter

  cubed

Instructions

• 1 Peel and slice the sweet potatoes into ⅓-½” thick rounds.
• 2 Place the sweet potatoes into the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker.
• 3 Sprinkle in the salt, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Stir to combine.
• 4 Pour in the maple syrup and stir gently to evenly distribute it.
• 5 Cut the butter into 6-8 cubes, and place them on top of the sweet potatoes,
  spaced evenly.
• 6 Cook on “high” for 2 ½-3 hours, or “low” for 5-6 hours. If possible, stir the
  sweet potatoes 1-2 times during cooking.
• 7 Once the sweet potatoes are done cooking, remove just the potatoes (leaving the
  liquid behind) to a bowl covered with a plate to keep warm.
• 8 Transfer the liquid to a saucepan and simmer over medium-high heat until the
  glaze is thickened, whisking often. Alternatively, you could try removing the
  lid during the final 30 minutes of cooking to thicken it slightly.
• 9 Top the sweet potato slices with the thickened glaze and serve immediately.
