Рецепт Orange & Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots {Slow Cooker}
I think it's about time that I start posting some side dishes on the blog. Side dishes that can be made in the slow cooker, none the less.
Ever since I started culinary school, most of our meals literally have been made in the slow cooker. It's getting to the point now to where I shudder to think what life was like before the slow cooker was even invented. I love that appliance!
These carrots are a super easy fix if you are looking for a quick side dish for your next dinner. At first glance, you would probably think they look a little on the mushy side. This is because I took these pictures the day after I made them, so they were chilled in the fridge overnight.
Despite their appearance in the pictures, I assure you that they are very appetizing. The glaze is a combination of orange, brown sugar, and cinnamon that will tantalize your taste buds. The aroma if the carrots simmering will be a reminder that fall is definitely here. My kids aren't carrot fans so they didn't want to try them, however, Husband Man and I both LOVED them.
We hope they will be added to your favorites file soon!
