by Justin Seglestrom

For a sweet and savory side dish, these glazed carrots are a must-try. The brown sugar and spices make them irresistible, and the slow cooker does all the work for you.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Instructions:

  1. Prep the Carrots: Place the peeled and sliced carrots into your slow cooker.
  2. Mix the Glaze: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Whisk until well blended.
  3. Coat the Carrots: Pour the brown sugar mixture over the carrots, making sure to toss them so they're evenly coated.
  4. Cook: Set your slow cooker to HIGH and cook for 3 hours, or until the carrots are tender to your liking.
  5. Thicken the Glaze (Optional): If you prefer a thicker glaze, remove the lid and cook on HIGH for an additional 15 minutes.
  6. Finish and Serve: Once done, sprinkle the carrots with chopped parsley and serve hot.
