Notes

Cooking notes:

  • This recipe can be made in a slow cooker. Skip roasting the carrots and sweet potatoes. ahead of time. Add all ingredients to the slow cooker and cook on high for 4-6 hours or low for 6-8.
  • Swap a butternut squash in for the sweet potatoes if desired/
  • Sage is not as common of a cooking spice, I've used thyme and liked the results equally.
  • For an added kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to your bowl.
