1. Coat the slow cooker insert with cooking spray. Fill the slow cooker halfway with chicken broth, then add the carrots.
2. Season the carrots with salt and brown sugar. Spread the little butter chunks equally over the top.
3. Cook for 5-7 hours on LOW heat with the lid on.
4. To keep the carrots wet, I prefer to serve them with some of the sweet sauce from the slow cooker.

Only 5 ingredients are needed to make sweet carrots in the slow cooker. The carrots are cooked all day in a sweetened chicken broth with butter for the most soft, delectable sweet carrots. Perfect for a dinner side dish or a festive holiday meal.

These carrots should be cooked on LOW heat. High heat is excessively hot, resulting in burnt and unsightly carrots. When the cook time is up, the carrots may appear “ugly,” but this is typical. Just give it a good stir, and they will be coated in a delicious glaze and look much nicer.

If desired, you can top the dish with more butter and a dusting of salt and pepper.

Finally, if you plan on double this recipe, make sure your slow cooker is big enough, and keep an eye on the cook time because it can take an extra hour or so.
