Slow Cooker Glazed Carrots There’s always that one side dish that steals the show on Thanksgiving—and these Slow Cooker Glazed Carrots just might be it. They bring a touch of sweetness to the table, balancing out all the savory favorites we wait for all year long. As they simmer away in the slow cooker, the kitchen fills with an aroma that feels like pure Thanksgiving comfort. What makes them even better is how effortless they are. While the turkey roasts and pies bake, your slow cooker does all the work, transforming simple carrots into tender, buttery perfection. These carrots are the kind of side that remind us what Thanksgiving is really about— simple, heartwarming food shared with the people we love most. Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! If you have a recipe you’d like to share with your community email me at ArizonaCooks71@gmail.com to be featured in the magazine! Ingredients • 2 pounds baby carrots • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar • 1/4 cup maple syrup (Substitute with honey or agave) • 1/3 cup butter, cubed
• 1 teaspoon salt • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon • 1/8 teaspoon pepper • Fresh thyme (for garnish, optional) Total Time: 3-4 hrs or 5-6 hrs Steps
1. In the slow cooker, stir together carrots, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and pepper. Pour in the maple syrup (or honey/or agave) and toss well to coat the carrots evenly. 2. Cut the butter into pats and spread them over the carrots. 3. Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours, or on low for 5-6 hours, until the carrots are fork-tender. If possible, stir 1-2 times during cooking. 4. If you want a thicker glaze, remove the lid for the final 30 minutes of cooking (turn the crockpot on high). Just remember to stir a few times during this process. 5. If desired, garnish with fresh thyme before serving warm. 6. Enjoy!
