Who is in the mood for a delicious side dish? These honey and brown sugar glazed carrots are the perfect Thanksgiving side dish! They are so sweet and tender that even kids love ’em! I love that they can be made easily in the slow cooker so you don’t have to babysit them while they cook. This is one of my simple living recipes that I come back to again and again! 

Make Ahead Honey Glazed Baby Carrots with Brown Sugar

If you’re in a rush for time, you can easily prepare these slow cooker honey glazed carrots ahead of time. Just prep all of the ingredients the day before and dump into your Crockpot the next day. This recipe couldn’t be easier!

I use both honey and brown sugar to give these carrots the ultimate candy flavor. Carrots are naturally sweet, but adding these two ingredients really takes it up a notch! You can use whole carrots that you will need to peel and chop, but for this recipe we are going to keep it simple with bagged baby carrots. It’s up to you which type of carrot you want to use!

These honey and brown sugar glazed carrots are great for vegetarians and any picky eaters. Kids love them!
