👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

Prep the carrots
Peel and cut into uniform 2-inch sticks (about 1/2-inch thick).
💡 Even size = even cooking.
Layer in the slow cooker
Place carrots in a 4–6 quart slow cooker. Dot with butter, drizzle with honey and brown sugar (if using), then sprinkle with cinnamon and salt.
🌟 Don’t stir — let the butter and honey melt down naturally.
Cook low and slow
Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours, until fork-tender but not mushy.
⏱️ Avoid overcooking — they should hold their shape.
Glaze & serve
Toss gently in the pan juices to coat. For extra shine, uncover and cook on HIGH for 10–15 minutes to reduce the glaze. Serve warm, straight from the slow cooker.
