Making Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Carrots is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare Carrots: Begin by peeling and slicing the carrots into uniform pieces.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, melted butter, thyme (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper.
3. Combine in Slow Cooker: Place the sliced carrots into the slow cooker. Pour the honey garlic mixture over the carrots.
4. Toss to Coat: Gently toss the carrots to ensure they’re evenly coated with the honey garlic mixture.
5. Set Cooking Time: Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 4-5 hours or high for 2-3 hours until the carrots are tender.
6. Stir Occasionally: If possible, stir the carrots once or twice during cooking to redistribute the glaze.
7. Check for Doneness: Once cooked, the carrots should be fork-tender. If they’re still firm, extend cooking time by 30 minutes.
8. Garnish and Serve: Transfer the cooked carrots to a serving dish, drizzle with extra glaze from the slow cooker, and sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish. Serve warm.
