Method
 

How to Make Slow-Cooker Maple Glazed Carrots and Brussels Sprouts
  1. Start by placing the vibrant baby carrots and halved Brussels sprouts directly into the slow cooker. Ensure they’re evenly distributed for an even cooking process!
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted butter, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and thyme until smooth. This combination is what makes the dish so deliciously unique!
  3. Pour the yummy maple mixture over the vegetables. Gently toss them to coat every piece, ensuring each carrot and Brussels sprout is enveloped in that sweet-savory glaze.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours. Keep an eye out for tenderness—the vegetables should be fork-tender and basking in that glorious glaze!
  5. Before serving, give everything a good stir to redistribute the glaze. Enjoy the delicious meal you’ve created, and don’t hesitate to go back for seconds!
