Glazed Slow Cooker Carrots (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 500 grams of baby carrots.
02 - 1/4 cup maple syrup, genuine quality.
03 - 1/3 cup butter, in small cubes.
04 - 1/2 teaspoon of finely ground cinnamon.
05 - 1/4 cup brown sugar, pressed tight.
06 - 1/2 teaspoon salt.

# Instructions:

01 - Spread the baby carrots evenly inside the base of a 6-quart slow cooker.
02 - Evenly sprinkle cinnamon, brown sugar, and salt over the carrots, then mix until they're coated thoroughly.
03 - Drizzle the maple syrup over the carrots and stir to cover them evenly.
04 - Spread the coated carrots in a single, neat layer inside the slow cooker for even cooking.
05 - Scatter the butter cubes over the layer of carrots.
06 - Cover the slow cooker, then choose the right heat setting based on how quickly you want them ready.
07 - Cook them on high heat for 3 hours or on low heat for 5 to 6 hours.
08 - Stir the carrots once or twice while they're cooking, if possible, so their flavor blends well.
09 - To add more glaze, just keep the lid off and cook on high for another 30 minutes.
10 - Instead, you can move the carrots to a serving bowl and cover them to keep warm.
11 - Pour the leftover cooking liquid into a pan and heat it on medium-high.
12 - Keep whisking while it simmers until it gets thicker, which should take around 5 minutes.
13 - Take the thicker glaze and pour it back over the carrots, mixing everything so they’re evenly coated.
14 - Take a spoonful and adjust seasoning if you think it needs tweaking before serving.
15 - Serve the carrots hot, and sprinkle extra herbs on top if you like.

# Notes:

01 - Great for festive meals.
02 - Effortless and convenient cooking.
03 - Can be prepped ahead of time.
04 - Simple and quick prep work.
