Notes

Doubling Tips - If doubling this recipe, use a larger crockpot and only add 1/2 cup water to the sweet potatoes, not 1 cup.

Substitute Tips - The golden monk fruit sweetener can be substituted with brown sugar or coconut sugar.

Prep Tips - To save time preparing this holiday meal, cook the sweet potato portion, allow it to cool, remove from the base, and store in the fridge for up to 3 days ahead of time. Then set the ceramic insert back into the base of the crock pot, add the pecan topping, and reheat on HIGH for 2-3 hours or until the pecans are candied and "set".
