Tips & Variations
Carrot size: Cut uniformly for even cooking; thinner slices will cook faster.
Sweeter glaze: Add an extra tablespoon of brown sugar or a drizzle of honey.
More tang: Increase apple cider vinegar to 2 tablespoons for a sharper contrast.
Spice it up: Add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger for a warmer spice profile.
No slow cooker? Bake covered in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 45–55 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of water if the glaze thickens too much.
Why This Recipe Works
The combination of slow cooking and a simple, well-balanced glaze allows the natural sweetness of the carrots to shine. Butter adds richness, brown sugar caramelizes gently, and apple cider vinegar provides a subtle tang that prevents the dish from becoming overly sweet. The low, steady heat of the slow cooker ensures tender, evenly glazed carrots every time.
