Orange Spice Carrots

To get my son to eat veggies, I mix and match flavors and spices. My slow-cooker carrots with orange and cinnamon won him over.

Ingreadient

• 2 pounds medium carrots or baby carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup orange juice
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 4 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1/4 cup cold water

Step by step

1. In a 3-qt. slow cooker, combine the first 7 ingredients. Cook, covered, on low until carrots are tender, 4-5 hours.
2. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water until smooth; gradually stir into carrot mixture until sauce is thickened, 1-2 minutes.
