If your family likes cooked carrots as much as our family does — and you need an easy side dish recipe — this one is for you!
This Slow Cooker Baby Carrots with Honey and Brown Sugar recipe has only a few key ingredients: baby carrots, brown sugar, honey, and butter (plus a bit of water and salt). We gave them a sprinkle with chopped fresh dill but if you’re looking to save money, you can certainly skip the garnish.
The easy part comes in because these glazed carrots are cooked in your Crock-Pot or slow cooker. Ideally, you will want to use one that is a 3 – 4.5 quarts size. Other than giving them a stir about halfway through, you can throw all the ingredients into the crock and let them do their thing. Once they are done, you have tender carrots that are sweet and delicious!

To make these Slow Cooker Baby Carrots, simply place all of your ingredients into your slow cooker crock.

Yes, I halved the recipe and used my mini slow cooker since it is just me at home. Worked just fine.
I added cinnamon
Has anyone halved this recipe? I’m wondering if it would work in the little crockpot halved? Thanks!
