Ingredients

Carrots

2 pounds baby carrots
1.5 pounds whole carrots peeled and sliced

Glaze

0.25 cup brown sugar packed
0.25 cup maple syrup
0.33 cup butter cubed
1 teaspoon salt
0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
0.125 teaspoon pepper

Garnish

Fresh thyme for garnish, optional

Instructions

Cooking Instructions

Add the carrots to a slow cooker.
In the slow cooker, mix brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and pepper. Stir to combine with the carrots.
Pour in the maple syrup and toss well to coat the carrots evenly.
Cut the butter into cubes or pats and spread them over the carrots.
Cover and cook on high for 3 hours, or on low for 5-6 hours, until the carrots are fork-tender. If possible, stir 1-2 times during cooking.
To thicken the glaze, remove the lid for the final 30 minutes of cooking and switch to high, or transfer carrots to a bowl, cover to keep warm, and pour liquid into a saucepan, simmering over medium-high heat, whisking until thickened (about 5 minutes).
If desired, garnish with fresh thyme before serving warm.
