Thanksgiving sides: Slow-cooker glazed carrots
by Lindsay Weiss posted in Life & Home
Glazed carrots. These are a staple on our holiday table, probably because they're the one vegetable everyone likes. They have to be slathered in brown sugar (so basically they're dessert) and tender to chew. Nobody likes a crunchy cooked carrot.
Until recently, the carrots were one of the last things I prepared before the holiday meal. I'd have them cut and ready, then sauté them in butter and brown sugar right before serving. This was fine, but there are always a thousand things I needed to be doing at the last minute, so I wondered if I could offload this to my trusty slow cooker. Because really, it's the best appliance for a slow, tender cook.
This. Was. Genius.
You can start these on the Crock Pot five hours before your meal and they will do all the work for you. (Also, they smell amazing.) The sweet brown sugar bakes right into each carrot and leaves plenty of buttery, brown sugary juice to pour over them before serving. All you have to do is throw them in a serving bowl and sprinkle a little parsley over the top and they are ready to eat. No last minute sauté; you've just freed up 15 minutes of critical, last-minute time! Woo-hoo!!! (Now that's something to toast to this holiday season.)
