Description
A delicious and easy recipe for sweet slow cooker carrots.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds carrots
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons butter (cut into small cubes)
- 1/3 cup water
Instructions
- Spray your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. (I used a 4 quart slow cooker.)
- Peel the carrots and slice the carrots. You want them all to be about the same size, so some may need to be quartered while others will be halved.
- Place the carrots in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt, and garlic powder over the carrots. Stir to coat.
- Drop the butter cubes over the top of the carrots. Pour the water around the outside, trying to avoid removing the spices from the carrots.
- Cover with the lid and cook on low for 6 hours, or until the carrots are fork tender.
Notes
- Ensure the carrots are cut evenly for consistent cooking.
- This recipe can be easily doubled for larger gatherings.
