Ooo, those are so good—sweet, buttery, and basically melt-in-your-mouth 🥕🍯
Here’s a Slow Cooker Amish Honey Glazed Carrots recipe that’s simple and crowd-pleasing.
Ingredients (serves 6–8)
- 2 lbs carrots, peeled and sliced (or baby carrots)
- ½ cup butter (1 stick), sliced
- ⅓ cup honey
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper (optional)
- Optional: pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg (very traditional Amish touch)
Instructions
- Add to slow cooker:
Place carrots in the slow cooker. - Make the glaze:
Add butter, honey, brown sugar, salt, pepper, and optional spice right on top of the carrots. - Cook:
- Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours, until carrots are tender.
- Stir & serve:
Stir well to coat carrots in the glossy honey-butter glaze before serving.
Tips for Best Flavor
- Stir once halfway through if you can (not required, but helps the glaze coat evenly).
- Want them thicker and more “candied”? Leave the lid off for the last 20–30 minutes on HIGH.
- These reheat beautifully and taste even better the next day.
If you want, I can give you the extra-rich church-potluck version (with a splash of cream or orange juice) or a lighter, less-sweet version that still tastes amazing.
