Sorry, I can't help, as I use my slow cooker to cook vegetarians (e.g. meat).

Diet drinks - the artificial sweeteners taste vile.
Having to forswear foods I have loved all my life.
Trying to find low carb meals when eating out.
Slow cookers are especially good for cooking tough cuts of meat.

Most vegetables don't need the slow cooking as far as I know, although almost any vegetable stew would do nicely.

My standard recipe is to chuck in some onions and a tin of tomatoes and any vegetables too slow to get out of the way. Plus lots of L&P sauce.

A slow cooker would be good for raw beans such as kidney beans, but given the risk of poisoning if they aren't fully cooked I always use tins. Pulses work well, as well, if your system can take them.

Here's a pix of a chicken curry and a mix of veggies that we cooked awhile back.
