My daughter Laura loves candied carrots. I like them too! Today I’m sharing a quick and easy twist on candied carrots with this Instant Pot Candied Carrots recipe! This easy recipe is perfect for any weeknight meal and would even be fantastic served with your Easter dinner!

I’m a huge fan of using my Instant Pot for just about anything. There’s no doubt in my mind that whatever I add to it, it’s going to cook up perfectly time and time again.

So when I’m trying to think of new ways and ideas to feed the family more veggies, I’m always impressed with how the Instant Pot gives the most simple veggies an added lift!

The best part about using my Instant Pot is that clean-up is a breeze. It’s one thing to be able to cook a food item that I know the family is going to love but it’s another to have everyone begging for seconds, leaving me literally nothing to have to put up in the fridge for later. (In my book, that’s a mom win!)

Note: This is the Instant Pot I own and I love it!

Can you make glazed carrots the day before?

You can but they’re going to taste so much better when you cook them fresh. If you do want to make them early, just store them in the fridge and reheat them in the microwave once you’re ready to eat.

Can you use baby carrots for this recipe?

You bet. I typically will use whatever type of carrots that I have in my fridge but you can absolutely use baby carrots instead of having to peel and slice carrots. Why not skip a step and save time when you can?

Tips for making Instant Pot Candied Carrots

The biggest tip to remember is that you’re going to want to add your sugar source when you cook them. I like to use brown sugar but you can use other types of sugar, too.

White sugar adds a good sweetness and I know that other people have added honey as well. Honey won’t sweeten as much but it is a good alternative to processed sugars.

However you decide to cook up these carrots in the Instant Pot, they’re certain to taste great!

Instant Pot Candied Carrots

To make this recipe you’ll need:

  • an Instant Pot
  • Instant Pot Steamer Basket or tin foil
  • 3 cups carrots, sliced
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt, to taste
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Instant Pot Candied Carrots

Ingredients

  • 3 cups carrots, sliced
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt, to taste
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions

    1. Place 1 cup of water in your Instant Pot and secure the trivet overtop. You can either use a veggie steamer that fits in your Instant Pot, or a piece of tinfoil shaped into a bowl, and place that over the trivet to hold the carrots.
    2. Toss the carrots with the melted butter, then season with the brown sugar, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.
    3. Place the carrots in the steamer basket or tinfoil basket, and secure the Instant Pot lid.
    4. Select Manual setting for 2 minutes, natural or quick release.
    5. Carefully remove the carrots from the Instant Pot and drain out the water.
    6. Add the carrots back to the Instant Pot.
    7. Select the Saute setting and cook until the butter-brown sugar mixture is sticky and coats the carrots completely, about 5 minutes, stirring constantly.

Melissa Ringstaff
Not gonna lie. 2020 was a hard year. And not just Not gonna lie. 2020 was a hard year. And not just because there was a pandemic. Our family has faced many trying times in the past but 2020 gave us some doozies.  I’m looking forward to a new year. The beginning of the new year always feels like a fresh start to me. It feels like HOPE.  But the truth is, whatever heartaches and hardships you and I were facing on Dec. 31 will most likely still be there on Jan. 1.  That’s why it’s hard to keep New Years resolutions. It’s easy to feel motivated for a few days or a couple weeks until we realize life hasn’t really changed and things are still hard.  But if we want to see real change it takes hard work and real effort. It takes showing up every day - even when it’s hard.  Whether that means working on your fractured relationships or setting healthy boundaries or cultivating self disciple... whatever that hard thing is that you need to work on ... it will only get better if you work on it.  We aren’t promised an easy life. But we are promised an “Ever Present Help in times of trouble.” Psalm 46:1  *

We’re coming into the new year with all the same We’re coming into the new year with all the same problems we had in the last year. And that’s okay! Life doesn’t have to be perfect to still be amazing. Perfectionism is a joy stealer. Let’s determine to enjoy life right now in all its messiness.  I believe you can find freedom from perfection and the confidence to live your life with purpose. #purposenotperfection  #christian #Jesus #love #quotes #quoteslife #quotestoliveby #godisgood #votd #lifequotes #inspirationalquotes #life #motivationalquotes #inspiration #bible #bb #bestoftheday #happiness #wordofgod
🏠 Being a homemaker is such an important role. 🏠 Being a homemaker is such an important role. It’s a ministry to your family and all who enter your home.  But I want you to know: You don’t have to be perfect. ❤️  There’s a fine line between teaching your children to be neat and insisting on perfection. No one can meet that kind of standard and it can be detrimental to the emotional health of your family.  What we want for our homes is to provide a space that is neat and clean enough that your family and friends feel comfortable and well loved.  There is freedom in accepting the fact that you’re not perfect. Not to make excuses for slovenliness - but to give yourself grace.  It’s when we recognize our weakness that we find ourselves reaching out to Jesus to receive the power that comes only from him. As homemakers, when we can find grace for the moment when we accept His Gift.  “But now for a brief moment grace has been shown from the LORD our God, to leave us an escaped remnant and to give us a peg in His holy place, that our God may enlighten our eyes and grant us a little reviving in our bondage. Ezra 9:8  Let His Grace wash over you, cleanse your weary heart. Homemaking isn’t about creating a perfect space. It’s about creating a home where loved ones feel cared for and nurtured.

❤️Your attitude about homemaking matters.⠀
⠀
A homemaker by definition is someone who manages and makes a home. 🏠⠀
⠀
But, anyone can clean and organize a home. ⠀
⠀
☑️ Homemaking is about more than checking off the items on your to do list.⠀
⠀
Learning how to be a homemaker means you learn how to make your home feel like haven of peace and love. You seek out ways to make your home feel inviting. You work at it.⠀
⠀
There is no easy button for homemaking. There are easier, more efficient ways to do chores, but the chores still have to be done. If you live in a house, you will create the need for the house to be tidied every day and cleaned on a regular basis.⠀
⠀
Having the right attitude about homemaking is the first step in learning how to be a homemaker.⠀
⠀
The good news is, even if you’ve been struggling with your homemaking, you can always go to God and ask Him for help. ⠀
⠀
He sees the unseen work of your hands. And He loves you very, very much. He wants to help you succeed. ⠀

🙏 If you’ve found it difficult to have a regu 🙏 If you’ve found it difficult to have a regular time with Jesus every day, you’re not alone. Lots of busy Christian women struggle to find time for a daily prayer and devotion time. ⠀
⠀
But I still want to encourage you to start your day with God! ⠀
⠀
⏰ If it’s hard to spend 30 minutes in the morning for a quiet time, I want you to remember you can still begin your day with God – even if that means saying a short prayer before your feet hit the floor in the morning.⠀
⠀
✝️ I also want to encourage you to memorize this verse:⠀
⠀
“Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you.⠀
Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life.” Psalm 143:8 📖⠀
⠀
In the morning you can recite this verse and say a prayer. It doesn’t have to take a long time. Although – if you do have time – you will be greatly blessed by spending more time in prayer and devotion.⠀

⠀⠀
📌 If you're looking to make this holiday season really special, you need to be intentional. Goodness knows 2020 has had a lot of ups and downs. And maybe you feel like it's been mostly downs. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
🎄 But the holiday season is a chance to focus on celebrating the life we have right now. Things don't need to be perfect for us to celebrate life right now!!⠀⠀
 ⠀⠀
☑️ Inside the pages of my Purpose 31 holiday planner, you'll find 8 weeks of planning and cleaning all laid out for you. Recipe pages, journaling pages, and more - 120 pages total. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
✏️ The Purpose 31 Holiday Planner is by far one of the most popular resource I produce each year. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Thousands of women have downloaded it over the last four years I've offered it.⠀⠀
 ⠀⠀
So, even though it's early still, you can go ahead and downlaod it. Print it out and then set it up so you're ready to go.⠀⠀
 ⠀⠀
I usually take my holiday planner down to Office Depot and have them spiral bind it with a plastic cover for about $5.00. This year, though, I just bought a new 3 ring binder at Walmart, printed off extra cover pages to slip in the clear sleeve, and created a binder with it. ⠀⠀
