Step-by-Step Instructions: 

Step 1: Prep the Sweet Potatoes 

• Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into uniform 1-inch cubes. 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.
