Frequently Asked Questions
You can easily use sliced carrots instead of baby carrots in this recipe. To swap out sliced carrots, simply wash and peel 2 pounds of whole regular sized carrots and slice them with a knife into 1/4 to 1/2 inch slices and cook per the instructions in the recipe.
If you have leftover cooked carrots you can easily store them in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days. Simply store the leftover carrots in an airtight container and reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop to serve.
If you are out of honey and want to use sugar instead simply swap out the honey for a 1/4 cup of either white granulate sugar or light or dark brown sugar. To prevent graininess from the sugar crystals add an extra tablespoon or two of water to the butter/sugar/cinnamon mixture and stir until the sugar is well dissolved.

Can this be prepared in a regular slow cooker/crockpot?
Yes! I would just add all the ingredients together in the crockpot, and cook on low for 3-4 hrs, or until the carrots are tender enough. Stir occasionally. Enjoy!
