How to make crock pot glazed carrots
Making the carrots is a relatively easy process. The carrots are added to the crock pot along with all the other ingredients.
After the carrots cook for 2-3 hours on high or 4-5 hours on low, they will be done. Be sure to stir the carrots to get the brown sugar and butter mixed in. Everyone has a preference on how done a carrot should be so adjust to your family's tastes. My family prefers a cooked carrot to be cooked all the way through and no longer crunchy.
Can I freeze the glazed carrots?
I don't recommend it. Carrots can get mushy after being frozen. The texture may not be the same.
How can I store the leftovers?
If there are leftovers, place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours.
What can I serve with these crock pot carrots?
The carrots are soft, flavorful and so simple to make. Enjoy this recipe as a side dish to any holiday meal!
