Ingredients

  • 1 to 1½ lbs carrots 450 to 680 g
  • 4 to 6 cloves garlic
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil 30 mL
  • 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar 30 mL
  • ¼ tsp each salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Prep: Add all ingredients to a slow cooker, tossing to coat carrots evenly.
    Whole carrots seasoned with pepper and garlic cloves placed inside a slow cooker lined with a plastic liner, ready to be cooked.
  • Cook: Cook on high for 4 to 6 hours or low for 6 to 8 hours (or until tender). It's useful to use slow cooker liners for this recipe to prevent carrots from sticking to your slow cooker.

Notes

Have leftovers? Blend them up to make this dreamy carrot hummus!
To make cleanup a breeze, I highly recommend slow cooker liners—just toss them after cooking, and you’re done with dishes!
