Ingredients
  

2 lbs baby carrots, peeled and trimmed

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/2 cup pure maple syrup

1/4 cup brown sugar, packed

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for a hint of acidity)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Carrots: If using regular carrots, slice them into uniform 1-inch pieces. For baby carrots, you can use them whole or cut them in half if they're larger.

    Mix the Glaze: In a bowl, whisk together the melted butter, maple syrup, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.

      Combine in Crockpot: Place the carrots in the crockpot. Pour the maple glaze mixture over the carrots, ensuring they are evenly coated. Toss gently to combine.

        Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the carrots are tender and glazed. Stir halfway through if possible for even cooking.

          Finish and Serve: If desired, stir in lemon juice before serving to add a touch of brightness. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for added color and flavor.

            Enjoy your delightful side dish!
