Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 2 lbs carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch slices
• 1/2 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional, for extra depth)
• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Carrots

Wash, peel, and slice the carrots into uniform rounds. Thinner slices cook faster and soak up more flavor.

Step 2: Combine Ingredients

In a large bowl, mix together the brown sugar, melted butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and vanilla extract (if using). Add the carrots and toss to coat evenly.

Step 3: Cook

Transfer everything to your slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 4–5 hours or on high for 2–3 hours, until the carrots are tender and the glaze is thickened.
