Baby carrots work well for this recipe—they cook evenly and absorb the glaze beautifully.

For a slightly caramelized finish, transfer cooked carrots to a baking sheet and broil 2–3 minutes before serving.
-
Can be made a day ahead and reheated gently on the stovetop or in the slow cooker.
This dish is classic Amish comfort food, naturally sweet, buttery, and incredibly easy to make thanks to the slow cooker.
If you want, I can also give a “brown sugar & orange zest twist” version for an extra flavorful glaze that’s irresistible.
