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:
- Prep the Carrots: Place the peeled and sliced carrots into your slow cooker.
- Mix the Glaze: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Whisk until well blended.
- Coat the Carrots: Pour the brown sugar mixture over the carrots, making sure to toss them so they're evenly coated.
- Cook: Set your slow cooker to HIGH and cook for 3 hours, or until the carrots are tender to your liking.
