Instructions
1. Prep the Carrots
Peel the carrots and cut them into even slices or sticks.
Uniform pieces ensure they cook evenly in the slow cooker.

2. Mix the Glaze
In a small bowl, whisk together:

Melted butter

Honey

Salt

Pepper

Vanilla and cinnamon (if using)

This creates the glossy, sweet coating the carrots will simmer in.

3. Fill the Slow Cooker
Place the carrots into the slow cooker and pour the honey butter mixture over the top. Stir gently to coat every piece.

4. Cook Until Tender
Cook on:

LOW for 5–6 hours, or

HIGH for 2–3 hours

The carrots should be tender but not mushy, perfectly glazed in the buttery honey mixture.

5. Finish and Serve
Give the carrots a gentle stir before serving.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.

Serve warm alongside roasted meats, ham, chicken, or holiday dishes.
