These slow cooker carrots are the ultimate side dish. You are not going to believe how simply they go together for one. They are also super affordable, so there is never any hesitation from me when it comes to serving them to a large crowd. When I take them for our church luncheons, we usually have between 30 and 50 people or so, so I just double the recipe and use a larger crock pot. There are never any leftover, but I think there are enough to go around. Check out what they are saying about this recipe over at The Recipe Rebel:
“These glazed carrots are the easiest Thanksgiving or Christmas side dish!”
For any holiday, special occasion, or just because…these carrots are the best side dish ever.
Ingredients
2-3 pounds baby carrots (I used 2 lbs, and you can see there’s plenty of glaze)
2 tablespoons orange juice
½ cup honey
½ teaspoon Morton salt
2 tablespoons Land O’ Lakes butter, cut into pieces
½ teaspoon grated orange zest
Instructions
Place carrots, juice, honey, salt and butter in a 4 quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until tender (mine only took about 6 hours — if you used more than 2 lbs though, it might be closer to 8).
Stir in orange zest and serve.
