As we head into colder weather, I’m trying to enjoy some warm, fall dishes without packing on a few pounds! These Coconut Pecan Sweet Potatoes are a much healthier version of “candied” potatoes. The coconut is sweet, but not overwhelming – the pecans add a nice crunch. Plus – I love that this is a slow cooker side dish, so you can just set them in and let their delicious cinnamon-y scent fill your home!
