📝 Ingredients

- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cubed
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Place the carrots inside. Add the butter, drizzle the honey over the top, and sprinkle in the brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Leave everything as is—no need to stir yet.
Cook
Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours, until the carrots are tender but still hold their shape.
Finish and serve
Gently stir to coat the carrots in the glaze. If you prefer a thicker sauce, cook uncovered on HIGH for an additional 10–15 minutes.
