Ingredients
- 2 pounds of carrots, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup of brown sugar
- 1/4 cup of butter, melted
- 1/4 cup of water
- 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
Directions
- Place the sliced carrots in the slow cooker.
- In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, melted butter, water, apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper, and cinnamon.
- Pour the mixture over the carrots, stirring to coat them evenly.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or until the carrots are tender.
- Stir the carrots once more before serving to ensure they are well coated with the glaze.
Variations & Tips
For a bit of a twist, try adding a teaspoon of grated fresh ginger to the glaze for a hint of warmth and spice. If you prefer a less sweet version, reduce the brown sugar to 1/3 cup. You can also add a handful of raisins or chopped pecans for added texture and flavor. For a touch of freshness, sprinkle some chopped parsley over the carrots just before serving.
