Ingredients

2 lbs large carrots, peeled
3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 orange, zest only
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

Slice the carrots into 1/2-inch slices. I like to do this on a diagonal. Set aside.
Add the melted butter to an instant pot with a slow cooker function or a slow cooker. Add the brown sugar, orange zest, cinnamon, and salt, then stir to combine. Next, add the carrots and stir to combine with the brown sugar mixture.
Add the instant pot lid and select the slow cooker function and cook for 3 hours 15 minutes on high then allow natural release. If using a regular slow cooker, cook on high for 3 hours 15 minutes, or until tender to your liking.
Transfer the carrots to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley.
