- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Peel and slice the carrots into evenly sized sticks or rounds, about 1/2-inch thick.
Step 2
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in the microwave (about 20-30 seconds).
Step 3
Stir the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, honey, and salt into the melted butter until well combined.
Step 4
Place the prepared carrots into the slow cooker, spreading them out evenly.
Step 5
Pour the butter mixture over the carrots, tossing gently to coat them evenly.
Step 6
Add the water to the slow cooker to prevent sticking during the cooking process.
Step 7
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and set it to cook on LOW for 4-5 hours or HIGH for 2-3 hours, until the carrots are tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 8
Stir the carrots carefully halfway through the cooking time to ensure even coating and cooking.
Step 9
Once the carrots are cooked, transfer them to a serving dish and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Step 10
Serve warm and enjoy as a flavorful side dish!
