A side dish that combines the natural sweetness of carrots with the rich, aromatic notes of honey and butter, creating a sweet and savory treat that complements any meal.
Ingredients
Scale:
2 pounds Fresh Carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup Honey (preferably local or raw)
1/4 cup Unsalted Butter, melted
2 tablespoons Brown Sugar (light or dark)
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon (optional)
1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
Fresh Parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the Carrots: Start by peeling the carrots and cutting them into 1-inch pieces. This ensures they cook evenly in the crockpot.
Mix the Glaze: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, honey, brown sugar, salt, and optional cinnamon. Stir until well blended.
Layer in the Crockpot: Place the cut carrots into the slow cooker. Pour the honey glaze over the carrots and toss gently to coat.
Cook on Low: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 4 to 5 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours until carrots are tender.
Finish and Serve: Stir the carrots gently to redistribute the glaze and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
