Equipment

  • 6qt slow cooker

Ingredients
  

Carrots

  • 2 pounds baby carrots
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 cup packed brown sugar
  • 0.25 cup real maple syrup or substitute with honey, corn syrup, or pancake syrup
  • 0.33 cup butter cubed

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Add the baby carrots to the insert of a 6qt slow cooker.
  • Sprinkle in the salt, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Stir well to combine.
  • Pour in the maple syrup and toss well to distribute the maple syrup.
  • Spread the coated carrots out evenly in the slow cooker.
  • Top with the cubes of butter, and add the lid to the slow cooker.
  • Cook on "high" for 3 hours, or on "low" for 5-6 hours. If possible, stir the carrots 1-2 times during the cook time.
  • To thicken the glaze, remove the lid for the final 30 minutes of cooking and switch to "high." Cook until the glaze has thickened.
  • Alternatively, transfer the carrots to a large bowl and cover with a plate to keep warm. Transfer the liquid to a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Whisk, cooking until thickened, about 5 minutes.

Notes

If you do not have baby carrots, you can use fresh whole carrots. Peel and cut into strips or coins. Cooking time may vary depending on carrot size.
