AN EASY GLAZED CARROTS RECIPE
I don't know about you but I'm a side dish kinda gal. I think that is what I love most about buffets and potlucks - all the side dish choices! I get positively giddy. I think I could fill an entire plate up with sides and be as happy as a clam. One of my favorites are these maple glazed carrots.
CAN I SUBSTITUTE THE MAPLE SYRUP?
Absolutely! You can use honey instead of maple syrup. You can use real maple syrup or the corn syrup kind found in grocery stores. Whatever your family loves and will eat!
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)

Love this recipe! I was wondering the same as Janet. Will this recipe work in a slow cooker? If so, how long should I cook it and at what setting?
Janet
Will this recipe work in slow cooker. If so, how long on low or would you do high?
Thanks

I always do something similar to yam and sweet potato, but never thought of baby carrots. This is a great idea. And I always bake the yam or sweet potato first then just coated them with syrup. Because I am always afraid to burn the syrup if cooking it for too long. this time, guess I will try baby carrot. 🙂

Ok, I admit it; I'm a buffet gal as well. I love trying all the new dishes provided.
Side dishes are what make the world go round. Maple and carrots; yum. This looks fantastic.

Definitely a family favorite here -- we use the "real" stuff too and I was pleased to get a quart of the good stuff from our trip to Vermont this past summer!
