Description
A simple and delicious recipe for slow cooker carrots that are sweet and tender.
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
- To ensure even cooking, cut the carrots to a uniform size.
- This recipe works well with larger or smaller slow cookers, just adjust the cooking time if necessary.
