Easy Slow Cooker Honey and Orange Glazed Carrots made with fresh orange juice, zest, herbs, and toasted pecans—perfect for holidays or weeknight meals.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- Zest and juice of 1 orange
- 1 ½ tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh sage finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 ½ pounds carrots peeled and cut in half lengthwise
- Chopped pecans for garnish
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the slow cooker on low or high, depending on your cooking time (4 hours on low or 2 hours on high).
- In a bowl, whisk together the butter, honey, orange zest and juice, rosemary, sage, salt, and pepper.
- Add the carrots to the slow cooker and pour the butter mixture over them. Toss to coat evenly. Cover and cook on high for 2 hours or low for 4 hours.
- For the last hour, leave the lid off to allow the liquid to reduce and thicken. (Skip this step if needed.)
- Meanwhile, toast the pecans in a dry sauté pan over medium-low heat, stirring often, until fragrant. Remove from the pan and let cool.
- Serve the carrots garnished with toasted pecans and fresh parsley.
