Creating delicious Slow-Cooker Citrus Carrots is simple with these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Carrots: Rinse the baby carrots under cold water and pat them dry.
2. Mix the Citrus Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lemon juice, honey (or maple syrup), ground cinnamon, salt, black pepper, and olive oil.
3. Add Carrots to Slow Cooker: Place the baby carrots in the slow cooker.
4. Pour Sauce Over Carrots: Drizzle the citrus mixture over the carrots, ensuring they are well coated.
5. Add Zest: Sprinkle the orange and lemon zest over the top of the carrots for added flavor.
6. Cover and Cook: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the carrots are tender.
7. Stir Occasionally: If possible, stir the carrots once or twice during cooking for even flavor distribution.
8. Check for Doneness: Test the carrots with a fork; they should be tender but not mushy.
9. Serve: Once cooked, remove the lid and let the dish cool slightly before serving.
10. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle fresh parsley on top for a pop of color before serving.

By following these straightforward steps, you’ll create an incredible side dish that is sure to impress.
