Glazed Carrots (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 1/4 cup packed brown sugar.
02 - 1/3 cup cubed butter.
03 - 1/4 cup pure maple syrup.
04 - 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder.
05 - 2 pounds of baby carrots.
06 - 1/2 teaspoon table salt.

# Instructions:

01 - Scatter the carrots across the base of a 6-quart slow cooker, making sure they’re spread out.
02 - Sprinkle cinnamon, salt, and brown sugar evenly, then stir well to combine.
03 - Drizzle maple syrup all over and toss so everything is coated thoroughly.
04 - Spread the coated carrots in an even layer so they cook uniformly.
05 - Dot the top of the carrots with pieces of butter, spacing them out evenly.
06 - Put the lid on your slow cooker and choose your desired cook setting.
07 - Let the carrots cook for 3 hours on high or 5-6 hours on low.
08 - If possible, give them a stir once or twice as they cook to help the flavors mix.
09 - Once done, take the lid off and cook for another 30 minutes on high to thicken the glaze.
10 - Another option is to transfer the carrots to a bowl and cover to retain their warmth.
11 - Transfer the cooking liquid into a saucepan and bring it to a simmer over medium-high heat.
12 - Keep whisking while the liquid simmers until it thickens in about 5 minutes.
13 - Once thickened, pour the glaze over the carrots and mix everything thoroughly.
14 - Give it a taste and tweak the seasoning before plating.
15 - Dish out hot and, if you’d like, sprinkle fresh herbs on top before serving.

# Notes:

01 - Great for the holidays.
02 - No babysitting needed.
03 - Simple to prep in advance.
04 - Quick and easy prep.
