Step-by-Step Instructions for Slow Cooker Glazed Carrots
  1. Begin by placing the baby carrots into your slow cooker, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and optional nutmeg. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Pour the glaze mixture over the carrots, ensuring each piece is well coated.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
  5. In the last 15-20 minutes of cooking, remove the lid to allow the sauce to reduce and thicken.
