Get ready for Easter dinner with my Crock Pot Honey Glazed Carrots recipe!
Hi guys!
With Easter just around the corner, I thought I'd share another great side dish for a crowd. My Crock Pot Honey Glazed Carrots recipe tastes amazing, is a total crowd pleaser and could not be easier.
These baby carrots are tender, cinnamon-y, nutmeg-y and oh so delightful.
Now normally glazed carrots wouldn't be my top choice for a healthy dish BUT you know I always have something up my sleeve to make it better. Instead of butter, my version features just a little coconut oil.
The Crock Pot Honey Glazed Carrots recipe is also coated with a good does of cinnamon, nutmeg and a splash of vanilla extract.
The flavors are perfect with the carrots.
The Crock Pot cooks the carrots, but they don't turn soggy. It's a great way to set it and forget it if you have a bunch of stuff going on.
The trick is to wait until the end to stir the honey in so you don't end up with a giant mess in your Crock Pot. That final stir allows the honey to combine with the coconut oil and the result is a dreammmmyyyy glaze.
This Crock Pot Honey Glazed Carrots recipe is perfect for a family gathering or party like Easter because it serves a crowd. Depending on how many other dishes you are serving this could easily feed 8+.
I hope you'll get a chance to make these and as always let me know what you think.

Well this is a good reminder that easter is around the corner! I always spend a ton of time making food - I like the idea of a side dish that is easier to prepare without sacrificing on taste.
Thanks so much for sharing at Healthy Vegan Fridays - I'm pinning & sharing. I hope you're having a great week, Julie!

My mom use to make sugary glazed carrots as a kid and I hated them. Recently I had honey glazed carrots that weren't sitting in butter and sugar and I was in love! I never thought, or knew, they could be made in a crock-pot! Since we have Easter with the hubby's side now just a few hours after brunch with my side and we need to bring something these would be perfect! Thank you for linking up with us for Meatless Monday!
JulieWunder says
Oh I know... I really don't like the sugary ones either! Hope you enjoy these.

Haha! Real problem!

This would be good for our friend's Easter orphan brunch where everyone without family in the area gets together for Easter. I always bring a veg because I feel they are harder to screw up 🙂
JulieWunder says
It would and they are-- lol!!!

What if I just made the glaze and dipped the raw carrots into it? Those flavors sound delightful!
