Slow Cooker Lemon Thyme Butter Carrots Serves: 4 Source: thecookiewriter.com
Ingredients: 2 lbs carrots, cut into matchsticks 1 onion, diced 1/4 cup butter 1 tbsp. freshly chopped thyme + more for garnish 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice 1 tbsp. lemon zest (optional) 2 tsp. brown sugar Salt and pepper
Instructions: Add carrots and onions to a 6-quart slow cooker. Combine butter, thyme, zest, and lemon juice in a small bowl until thoroughly combined. Pour over carrots. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook on high heat for 3 hours, stirring halfway through.
Near the end of cook time, stir in 1 to 2 tsps of sugar depending on tartness of lemon juice.
Garnish with additional thyme if desired and serve!
Notes: Adding sugar is optional if you want to cut back on the tartness of the recipe.
No fresh thyme on hand? Dried thyme can work here. I would start at 1 tsp. dried thyme and go from there. Dried herbs are way more potent that than fresh variety, so DO NOT add 1 tbsp. dried thyme. As much as I love thyme, that would probably kill the dish.
