Sweet, buttery glazed carrots slow-cooked with cinnamon, maple syrup, and brown sugar. Perfect for holiday dinners.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds baby carrots
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup real maple syrup
  • ⅓ cup butter cubed

Instructions

Step 1: Add Ingredients to Slow Cooker

  • Place baby carrots into a 6-quart slow cooker. Sprinkle with salt, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Stir to combine.

Step 2: Add Maple Syrup and Butter

  • Pour in the maple syrup and stir gently to coat. Spread the carrots evenly in the slow cooker and top with cubed butter.

Step 3: Slow Cook

  • Cover and cook on high for 3 hours or low for 5–6 hours, stirring once or twice if possible to coat the carrots evenly.

Step 4: Thicken the Glaze (Optional)

  • To thicken the glaze, remove the lid during the last 30 minutes of cooking and switch to high heat.
  • Alternatively, transfer the carrots to a bowl and keep warm. Pour the cooking liquid into a saucepan, bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, and whisk until thickened (about 5 minutes). Pour back over the carrots before serving.
