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

These carrots are so good! I made these for Thanksgiving and doubled the recipe, but left the cinnamon, salt and nutmeg the same. I also used more cornstarch and used the cooking liquid instead of water. These carrots are absolutely delicious! They'll definitely find their way to my table again and again. Love the ease of using the slow cooker!
I used a 6-qt. stockpot to cook the carrots; drained off the water from the carrots. I prepared the remaining ingredients for the sauce in a saucepan and used 4 tsp. ground Navel orange-the required amounts of water and cornstarch for sauce were added along with the other sauce ingredients. This carrot dish is delicious and I thank you for sharing it with Taste of Home!
These were excellent! Although, I completely forgot the last step with the corn starch, but they were still very good.

Very good, I do not put in nutmeg because not a fan. I do keep them in the slow cooker for about 8 hours because we like them more tender,
Very good! I used pineapple juice instead of orange juice as I had the pineapple juice on hand.
Delicious blend of flavors but take note that these carrots need the full cooking time.
Made these for a family get together. Everyone loved them! Easy and delicious!
Made a stovetop version of these and they were a big hit. Even my veggie hating husband ate two servings. Definitely going onto my regular menu rotation.
I rarely have cooked carrots because my family is not a fan of them. However, I had a lot of carrots that I didn't want to go bad, so tried this. Family loved them, and they went perfectly with a pork roast I had made. LOVE the ease of this recipe!!
