List the ingredients: baby red potatoes, carrots, celery, mushrooms, garlic, jalapenos, seasoned salt, Italian seasoning, cayenne pepper, olive oil, and water.

Chop all vegetables into bite-sized pieces, leaving the skins on the potatoes for extra nutrients if desired.

Add the chopped vegetables directly to the crock pot.

Season the vegetables with seasoned salt, Italian seasoning, cayenne pepper, olive oil, and a splash of water.

Stir the mixture well to ensure the vegetables are coated with the seasonings.

Cover the crock pot and set to cook on high for about 4 hours or on low for 6 to 7 hours.

Stir the vegetables once or twice during cooking if possible to ensure even cooking.

After cooking, check for tenderness and enjoy the flavorful vegetables.
