Slow Cooker/Crock Pot Ranch Carrots

Baby carrots can be deliciously flavorful and pleasantly soft with only a few minutes of preparation and cooking time in a crock pot. The carrots end up being cooked al dente (soft without being overcooked or mushy). They hold their shape but are easy to chew.

I originally created this Slow Cooker/Crock Pot Ranch Carrots recipe for my 10-month-old and 2 1/2-year-old, but I liked the flavor so much, I eat it too.

Then, in a crunch to make an assigned side dish I made these baby ranch carrots for a family get-together. My nieces and nephews and brothers and sisters liked them as well. So if you like carrots, I’d recommend giving them a try.

Note- The recipe pictured on this post is double the recipe that I’ve written below…

Simply pour the bag of carrots into your slow cooker.

Add the vegetable broth.

Slow Cooker/Crock Pot Ranch Carrots

Stir in dry ranch seasoning/mix. You can use a pre-made packet or a homemade recipe (found here).

Slow Cooker/Crock Pot Ranch Carrots

Cook on high heat for 5 hours. At this point, they should be just firm enough to hold their shape but soft enough to easily chew. Cook longer if you desire an even softer texture.

Serve warm or cool. Store extra carrots in the fridge.

Tip: You could also blend these carrots into a nice puree using a blender.

Second Tip: You can add butter for additional flavor.

Third Tip: You could use regular carrots that are cut into smaller pieces, or chop the baby carrots for quicker cooking time.

Final Tip: In a crunch, this recipe can be made in a pot on a stovetop. I have made it once this way. The carrots will not be as soft as they come out in the slow cooker, but 30 minutes at a boil will yield a nice flavor and a slightly softer baby carrot. You’d need to boil for about an hour (a guesstimate) in order for the baby carrot to be al dente.

    These are amazing and I’m not even crazy about carrots! Been making them for Thanksgiving and just put them in the crockpot again this morning. So easy and nice to use the crock pot to free up the oven for other Thanksgiving dishes.

    Can you mix the ingredients the night before and then refrigerate them for next day and just pop them in the crockpot?

      Yes! That should work just great and may just make them even more flavorful. Thanks for stopping by and asking.

    You say that you can add butter. How much butter?

      I’d start out with just a dab and taste test and move up from there. My kids do like them better if I add about 1-2 TBSPs.

      thanks for asking.
