Slow Cooker Glazed Carrots are the best way to add a tasty side to big holiday meals. An easy vegetable dish that’s family friendly & made in a crockpot.
Slow Cooker Glazed Carrots
I am guilty of being horrible with sides for dinner. It is always an afterthought for me! So I’m trying to find some ways to get better with serving a nice yummy side! Bring out the slow cooker and I’m on it – it’s what led to Slow Cooker Glazed Carrots!
I am also hosting Thanksgiving this year and my family will have to travel to get to me! So it’s not like I can say – “Hey you bring some sides!”. Nope, it’s all me. I’m trying out recipes to make our Thanksgiving feast spectacular this year.
These Slow Cooker Glazed Carrots are definitely now on the list for me! They were 1 – easy 2 – almost no prep and 3 – except for some stirring a true fix and forget kind of dish. Give them a try this fall and maybe they’ll end up on your Thanksgiving (or dare I say Christmas) table too.
While these are going to be great for holidays – Glazed Carrots are good with just about any dinner. I sometimes just make a huge batch and then we eat them all week long. My kids gobble them up and well…I love that!

I know this is probably a little late since I am fixing these for tomorrow’s Easter dinner. What size crock pot did you use for this recipe? I have a 4 Qt and a 6 Qt. I haven’t done a lot of crock pot cooking but will try and use the larger of the two. I will cook them on high and hope they don’t finish too early. Looking forward to trying this recipe.
Thank you
I have a stove top recipe similar to this but to change this one up, consider adding 2 TBSP of lemon juice, and 2 tsp of dry ginger. It is a great taste with the brown sugar and butter. Sometimes I wrap them in foil and toss them in the big pot and add everything into the foil pouch. Saves clean up issues! The pouch allows for cooking different things at once.
I’m adding your recipe to my Christmas Dinner Menu post. 🙂 These were top notch!
Thanks – they are delish! Try them for Easter too!
I never thought about doing carrots in the slow cooker…brilliant! Definitely need to try this!
What a fabulous and easy side dish for Thanksgiving!
I host Thanksgiving every year and love that these are hands free and just one less thing to worry about! They look delicious!
Sounds like a perfect thanksgiving side dish and one that makes life a lot easier too!
Great minds clearly think alike! We just posted a similar recipe, sans slow cooker. It’s so easy to overlook the wonderful tastes and flavors of such simple stables such as carrots. We love your version and will be sure to give it a try!
Love the idea of making these in the crockpot!
These glazed carrots are going on my holiday menu! Love that you can slow cook there and get busy with other dishes!
These carrots look so yummy! They’d be a perfect side dish for Thanksgiving!
I always overlook carrots as a side dish and I don’t know why because you can buy the baby peeled ones and make it so easy. Adding a crock pot to the mix is even better!
What a fantastic side dish!
Cook the carrots first?
Nope! They cook just fine in the crock pot 😉
