One of my favorite parts of making a pot roast is the carrots. I mean, the actual roast is good, but the carrots? They’re great! And my kids love them too! That got me thinking about making carrots in the crockpot.
The end result of this recipe isn’t carrots that taste like pot roast, but they’re still really good. They’re sweet, but not overly so. And I love that they cook in a slow cooker, making them easy. Set up the slow cooker, let it sit on the counter and a few hours later, have a great side dish. This would also be perfect for a holiday meal as it doesn’t need babysitting. I’ll be making it often!
