Friday is here again! We’ve been busy little bees the past couple of weeks, but I managed to sneak in a couple new recipes that will be in my regular fall rotation. The best part about this recipe is using the Crock-Pot. I love Crock-Pot recipes this time of year. Throw everything in, set it and come home to a nice hot meal. I recently got a new Crock-Pot that I have to rave about, but more on that in a later post.
These Crock-Pot Brown Sugar Carrots are a perfect side dish to any meal. I paired mine with a roast and it was nothing short of fantastic. The carrots came out perfectly cooked and not soggy at all. Soggy vegetables are the worst! They have a nice light sweetness, nothing over powering and heat up wonderfully for leftovers. Get these in your Crock-Pot sooner rather than later. I know you guys are just going to love these!
Throw 2 pounds of baby carrots into the Crock-Pot (that’s 2 small bags) and add 1/2 teaspoon of salt. This is going to balance out the sweetness.
Next, pour 1/2 cup of brown sugar on top.
Finally, cut up 2 tablespoons of butter and sprinkle over the top. Pop on the lid and cook on high for 4-5 hours, stirring once after 2 hours.
Perfectly cooked carrots your whole family will love.
Here’s your handy printable recipe. Wishing you all a safe and happy weekend!

I’m excited to bring these over to my friends at the Fiesta Friday party co-hosted by Julie @ Hostess At Heart and Liz @ spades, spatulas & spoons!
I love everything from cake to kale. Life is all about balance. I like to live, laugh and love to the fullest! Our time is too short not to enjoy ourselves.
I have a similar recipe but I add balsamic vinegar. These carrots are so good cooked slowly…
Yum! That sounds like a wonderful addition that I’ll have to give a try 🙂 I agree, slow cooked carrots are amazing!
I haven’t tried it yet. 🙂 Thanks for the idea, Sarah!
You’re going to love it 🙂
Absolutely delicious! Thank you Sarah 🙂
You’re very welcome!
What a great recipe! Easy peasy. These would be amazing with a roast! Sweet and savory is always a winner in my book. Have a great weekend Sarah and happy FF!
So easy and so delicious! Have a wonderful weekend too 🙂
Its a winner! Yum-o. Have a great weekend, Sarah.
Thanks Cheryl, you too!
I think this would work with a lot of root veggies, parsnips ?, beets ?, turnips ?…wonderful idea. Thanks for bringing it FF just in time for all our holiday roasts.
Great ideas! Thanks so much 🙂
Hi Sarah!!!!
🙂
I´m not big on carrots but perhaps this might be a way to start. I´m looking at them and thinking:
I think those are delicious and wouldn´t mind giving it a try.
yummy in my tummy
hope you´re well

Hi Dana!!!! You might like them this way 🙂
Little yummies! 🙂
Yummies indeed 😉
We’re always on the same wave length. I have a bunch of carrots in the fridge that I need use up. For some reason I never think about cooking them.Most of the time, I think about them when it is too late and the rest of the meal is far to done to start any. These look wonderful!
WE ARE! Ha, I have the same problem. Thanks so much 🙂
I have made your crock pot carrot recipe many times and it’s delicious!!! I am going to make again for thanking dinner for family and friends. So excited! Thank you SarahNSpice, love your site and recipes!
Can you tell me how many this recipe serves?
