Spicy Crock-pot Sweet Potatoes
Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes
- 3 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon cyan pepper
Instructions
Insert crock-pot liner to save yourself some scrubbing!
Peel sweet potatoes, and cut into 1-1/2" - 2" cubes.
Mix spices and olive oil together and drizzle about 1/3 of the mixture over sweet potatoes, stirring well to coat. Add another tablespoon or so and mix again. Repeat a third time. This will ensure even coverage.
Place the lid on and cook on HIGH for 4-5 hours, stirring about halfway through the cook-time.
The potatoes are done when they are completely softened. In fact, feel free to mash them slightly.
Serve hot!
