Parmesan Crock Pot Sweet Potatoes
Description
This recipe uses peeled and chunked sweet potatoes combined with olive oil, kosher salt, garlic paste, garlic powder, dried parsley, cubed butter, and shredded Parmesan cheese before being placed in a slow cooker. Cooking on low for 6 to 7 hours slowly breaks down the sweet potatoes into a soft texture that absorbs the savory seasoning and cheese.
The sweet potatoes become tender and creamy while the combination of garlic and parsley imparts aromatic and savory notes. Parmesan cheese melts into the dish, adding a salty umami richness. Butter contributes to the moist texture and flavor balance.
This side pairs well with a variety of main courses, especially roasted or grilled meats. The use of a slow cooker frees the cook from attending to the dish and prevents overcooking.
Using a slow cooker liner in the crockpot is recommended to ease clean up after cooking. Cutting the sweet potatoes into roughly equal chunks ensures even cooking.
