Ingredients
Sweet Potatoes
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- To serve: brown sugar, pecans, butter
Brussels Sprouts
- 3 cups trimmed Brussels sprouts 375 g
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 Tbsp olive oil or butter 15 mL
- 1/4 tsp each salt and pepper
- To serve: grated parmesan
Creamy Corn
- 2 oz cans corn drained
- 1/4 cup milk 60 mL
- 6 oz cream cheese 170 g
- 2 Tbsp butter 30 g
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Sweet Potatoes: Wrap potatoes in aluminum foil and set in a slow cooker. Cook on high heat for 1 hour.
- Brussels Sprouts: Meanwhile, toss together cleaned Brussels sprouts, garlic, oil, salt, and pepper (if your sprouts are large, cut in half). Wrap in aluminum foil to create a pouch. Set aside.
- Creamy Corn: Stir together all corn ingredients. Create an aluminum foil pouch, using a few layers to make it water-tight. Pour corn mixture into foil pouch and scrunch together to seal.
- Cook: After 1 hour of cooking, flip sweet potatoes then set Brussels sprout and corn pouches on top of potatoes. Cover and continue cooking on high for 2 to 3 hours, or until sprouts and potatoes are tender. Optionally broil sprouts in the oven for a few minutes to crisp up the outsides.
- Serve: Keep side dishes warm in the slow cooker until ready to serve. Serve sweet potatoes with a small spoonful of brown sugar, a slab of butter, and pecans. Grate parmesan over warm Brussels sprouts.
