HOW TO ROAST VEGETABLES IN THE SLOW COOKER

Steps:

• How to cook crock pot vegetables in the slow cooker: Grease your crock pot, then add all the veggies. (I used a 4-quart slow cooker.) Season with the salt, herbs, and oil, then stir to evenly coat. Cook 3 hours on high (or longer on low), stirring just once every hour or so. At this point, you can open the lid and drain the liquid for another use. Don't discard it; the liquid is seriously delicious! I just drank it like soup. The veggies will be a softer texture than oven-roasted veggies, but they are actually even more flavorful and sweet. Crockpots-thanks to their slow and steady heating-are known to heighten the flavor of whatever you're cooking.View Crock Pot Vegetables Nutrition Facts
