How to Make Vegan Slow Cooker Recipes
  1. Prep Ingredients: Begin by chopping all vegetables and legumes into even sizes to ensure uniform cooking.
  2. Combine in Slow Cooker: Place all your prepared ingredients into the slow cooker, layering denser items like sweet potatoes and legumes at the bottom.
  3. Set Cooking Time: Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
  4. Check Texture: As you near the end of cooking, check if the lentils and beans are tender. Add a bit of water if too thick.
  5. Serve: Stir the dish well and adjust seasonings before serving.
