20. Slow Cooker Lemon Thyme Butter Carrots

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs carrots, cut into matchsticks
• 1 onion, diced
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 tbsp. freshly chopped thyme + more for garnish
• 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 tbsp. lemon zest
• 2 tsp. brown sugar (optional)
• Salt and pepper

Instructions:

1. Add carrots and onions to a 6-quart slow cooker (4-quart works, too! Just stir a bit more often.) Combine butter, thyme, zest, and lemon juice in a small bowl until thoroughly combined. Pour over carrots. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Cook on high heat for 3 hours, stirring halfway through.
3. Near the end of cook time, stir in 1 to 2 teaspoons of sugar depending on tartness of lemon juice (I prefer no sugar!)
4. Garnish with additional thyme if desired and serve!
