Slow Cooker Carrots With Orange Glaze

Slow Cooker Carrots With Orange Glaze is the perfect easy side dish for any occasion.  Best of all, cooks entirely in your crock-pot and is an easy set and forget recipe!

Slow Cooker Orange Ginger Glazed Carrots plus 2 other holiday side dishes to help free up your oven. Recipes include Balsamic Brussels Sprouts and Parmesan Sage Mashed Sweet Potatoes - easy dump and go recipes perfect for the holidays! Best of all, they're made entirely in your crock-pot with no oven or stove time!

When life gets busy, easy slow cooker dishes are perfect for saving the day. I posted these Slow Cooker Orange Ginger Glazed Carrots during the holidays over on the KitchenAid blog where I am a regular contributor and thought I’d share them over here. You know, just in case life’s been busy and you’re looking for some easy side dish ideas too.

The best part about any meal for me, is loading up on the side dishes. Brussels Sprouts, Mashed Sweet Potatoes – I can never decide on just one. That’s why I love making a bunch so there are a variety of options to choose from.

Making them in the slow cooker helps to free up some oven space and as well as ease some of the stress from prepping multiple recipes.
