Vegan Slow Cooker Black-eyed Peas

I posted a recipe for Instant Pot Creamy Black-Eyed Peas and I wanted to give you a recipe for Vegan Slow Cooker Black-eyed Peas too. In the Southern US we eat black-eyed peas for luck on New Year’s Day.

Even if it’s not your tradition, it’s still an easy and healthy way to start off the new year.

You can use the slow cooker to cook plain black-eyed peas by only using the water and beans. Then they’ll be ready for you favorite recipes.
