Slow Cooker Honey-Dijon Glazed Carrots

Ingredients

• 3 pounds carrots, peeled and cut 1/2-inch thick on a bias
• 1 1/4 cup water
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

1. Set the carrots in your slow cooker, then pour in the water and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Put the lid on, choose the low setting, and let them cook for 4 to 6 hours, until a fork slides into the carrots easily.
2. Pour off the water, then put the carrots back in the slow cooker. In a separate bowl, whisk the remaining salt with the melted butter, honey, Dijon mustard, sage, and black pepper until everything comes together nicely.
3. Add the honey-Dijon mustard glaze to the carrots and turn them gently until every piece is coated. Taste, then adjust with more salt and pepper if you like.
4. Turn the slow cooker down to warm. You can serve the carrots right away, or cover them and keep them on warm for 1 to 2 hours.
