Coconut Pecan Sweet Potatoes Recipe

This Coconut Pecan Sweet Potatoes Recipe are a much healthier version of “candied” potatoes.

 As we head into colder weather, I’m trying to enjoy some warm, fall dishes without packing on a few pounds!

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 your sweet potatoes in the slow cooker and let their delicious cinnamon scent fill your home!
