How to Make Slow Cooker Yams With Coconut And Pecans
- Coat your slow cooker with 1 tablespoon of butter or nonstick cooking spray.
- Arrange 2 pounds of peeled and thinly sliced yams in an overlapping layer in the slow cooker.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract with 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Drizzle evenly over the yams.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened), 1/2 cup chopped pecans, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture evenly over the yams.
- Dot the top with 2 tablespoons of cold butter, cut into small pieces.
- Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours, or until the yams are easily pierced with a fork and tender. Cooking time may vary depending on your slow cooker.
