Crockpot Glazed Carrots
Description
This recipe cooks peeled, sliced carrots in a crockpot with a mixture of melted butter, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon, which infuses them with a lightly sweet, spiced glaze. Slow cooking over three hours on high heat softens the carrots through gentle heat, allowing the glaze to thoroughly coat and flavor each piece. Topping with freshly chopped parsley finishes the dish with a touch of herbal freshness.
The resulting texture is tender yet maintains the carrot’s shape without becoming mushy, and the glaze provides a glossy appearance and balanced sweetness. This dish fits well as a warm side to roasts or other savory meals.
If the glaze is too thin after cooking, the recipe suggests removing the lid and cooking on high for an additional 15–20 minutes to thicken the sauce. Leftovers keep well refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds carrot peeled and sliced into 1/2 inch thick pieces
- 1/4 cup butter (melted)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1 Tablespoon parsley chopped, fresh
Instructions
- Place all the carrots in the bottom of the crock pot.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the butter, brown sugar, salt and cinnamon.
- Pour this mixture on top of the carrots in the crock pot. Stir to coat the carrots with the mixture.
- Cover and cook on high for 3 hours until the carrots are tender.
- Serve topped with the fresh parsley and enjoy!
Notes
- If the glaze is too watery after cooking, remove the crockpot lid and cook on high for 15-20 minutes to reduce and thicken the sauce.
- Store leftover glazed carrots in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
