Instructions
In The Microwave
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the canned carrots (drained), butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Mix to combine.
Heat in the microwave for 1 minute and then stir.
Continue heating and stirring in 30-second bursts, until the carrots are heated to your liking.
On The Stovetop
Drain your canned carrots and set them aside.
In a skillet, mix together the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt, and place it over medium heat.
Stir frequently until the mixture begins to bubble. Add in the carrots and cook, continuing to stir, for 2-3 minutes or until the carrots are well-coated and heated through.
Remove the skillet from the heat and serve immediately.
In The Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly coat a small baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Add your drained carrots, butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and ½ cup of water to the baking dish and stir to combine.
Bake for 15 minutes and then remove the baking dish from the oven.
Stir well and let the carrots rest for 5 minutes before serving.
In A Crockpot
Drain your carrots and add them to a small 1-2 quart slow cooker.
Add in the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and water. Stir to combine.
Cook on low heat for 3-4 hours before stirring well and serving.
Notes
You can add in a small sprinkle of nutmeg for some extra flavor!
Make sure to drain your canned carrots before using, regardless of the cooking method.
Feel free to swap the brown sugar out for honey if you like!
