Winter vegetables are a slow cooker hit!
While many vegetables don’t hold up well in the slow cooker, hearty winter veggies like squash, carrots, and sweet potatoes are perfect for simmering all day, like they do in this easy winter vegetable medley. Full of fiber, this slow cooker vegetable dish gets amazing flavor from fresh herbs. It’s the perfect side to a hearty winter roast beef, or served with a roasted chicken or turkey.

The description says it gets its flavor from dried fruit & herbs, but I don’t see any fruit in ingredients.
Krista, That was a misprint. I removed the “dried fruit” text. Thanks for your comment. 🙂
are there supposed to be sweet potatoes, too?
You can add them if you’d like!
I am a WW member. I don’t see how this dish could have 6 smart points since squash and carrots are 0 points.
It’s been corrected. 🙂
