These Crockpot Carrots are simmered in tangy bbq sauce and mouthwateringly delicious. They are perfect for holidays, game days, birthday parties, and even family dinners. Be forewarned, they are super addictive!
Begin by making the marinade. Add marinade ingredients to a crockpot and whisk together well. Do NOT add bbq sauce at this point.
Place carrots in the crockpot or slow cooker with the marinade and set to high. Allow to cook for 1-1/2 hours stirring once in a while to coat well.
Drain off marinade and save for other recipes such as carrot dogs. This marinade also freezes well.
Add bbq sauce and allow carrots to cook on high for another 4-5 hours. A terrific store-bought, no-oil bbq sauce is Bone Suckin’ Sauce. If you would like to make your own, I have a great recipe for you to try called Healthy BBQ Sauce.
You will want the finished carrots to be tender but not mushy. Some crockpots may require a little longer, especially if you’re making a double batch.
Once desired tenderness is achieved serve and enjoy!

Notes
A LOT of people have asked about InstantPot instructions, and this is what one follower said, " Here’s the verdict: they were fabulous! I just used the slow cooker option on my IP and the times you mentioned were perfect! Thanks so much for the recipe!" If they are still a little too firm, bring them to high pressure for one minute at the end of the slow cooking time for the perfect tenderness. Detailed instructions, in-process photos, and my personal helpful tips can be found in the article above.
