Slow Cooker Carrots with Lemon and Dill for a Zesty Side

For a perfect, set-and-forget side, try these slow cooker carrots. The recipe was shared with us way back in 2007, but we’ve updated the recipe and post for ease and flexibility.

They’re sprinkled with dill weed and lemon for a flavorful spring dish. The original recipe uses lemon extract for a convenient punch of zest, but we’ve added an option for lemon zest. Either way, these sweet and savory carrots suit almost any meal. But we really like them with chicken, fish, or a vegan tofu main dish.
