Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 2 pounds fresh carrots Peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar For caramelization
  • 1/4 cup butter Melted
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar To balance sweetness
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup water

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place the peeled and sliced carrots into the slow cooker, spreading them evenly across the bottom.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, melted butter, water, apple cider vinegar, salt, black pepper, and ground cinnamon until smooth.
  3. Pour the glaze mixture over the carrots, stirring gently to coat them evenly.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4–5 hours, or until the carrots are fork-tender and beautifully glazed.
  5. Before serving, stir the carrots once more to ensure they are evenly coated with the sweet, buttery glaze. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

Bring ingredients to room temperature for easier mixing. Ensure the carrots are spread out for even cooking; if making a larger batch, use a bigger slow cooker. Stir halfway through for even glazing.
