Tips:

  • Prep your vegetables beforehand. Cut and clean all your vegetables before starting to cook. This will save you time and hassle later on.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. The more colorful your stew, the more nutritious it will be. Aim for a mix of root vegetables, leafy greens, and cruciferous vegetables.
  • Don't overcrowd the slow cooker. Make sure there is enough space for the vegetables to cook evenly. If you overcrowd the slow cooker, the vegetables will steam instead of roast.
  • Add some spices and herbs. A few simple spices and herbs can add a lot of flavor to your stew. Try adding garlic, onion, thyme, rosemary, or sage.
  • Use a good quality broth. The broth you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your stew. Use a broth that is flavorful and low in sodium.
  • Cook the stew on low for 6-8 hours. This will give the vegetables time to soften and the flavors to meld together.
