Instant Pot Cinnamon Honey Carrots

Delicious Cinnamon Honey Instant Pot Carrots

In my quest to find as many delicious Instant Pot recipes as possible, I have found perhaps the holy grail of carrot recipes. I am a huge fan of carrots. It’s possibly one of the best side dishes ever and always comes to mind whenever reminiscing about family dinners or events. Now those dinners were usually with my grandmother’s secret brown sugar glazed carrot recipe but the sweetness of the brown sugar is not missed one little bit. Perhaps the next recipe I cover will be my grandmother's grown sugar glazed carrots.

As many of you know, I’m a huge fan of cinnamon, so when looking up different ways to make my beloved carrots I was extremely pleased to learn that many people enjoy cinnamon with their carrots so I decided why not give it a try.

The honey that is added to this recipe really completes the glaze. In fact, when made right, the glaze in this recipe will have a little leftover in the pot which I often use as a sauce that can top meats, potatoes, rolls, it’s really great on most foods.

I used a bag of frozen baby carrots in this recipe but fresh can also be used. The cooking time does not change at all. In the end you will be left with a pot full of delicious glazed carrots that will be the perfect additional any meal. Or eat them by themselves. I often enjoy eating a bowl of vegetables for dinner without any additions and these carrots will definitely make you want to go back for seconds or even thirds.

Another way that this recipe can be made is to cook the carrots in the Instant Pot first before adding the cinnamon and honey glaze. If you wish to do this the steps to follow would be to add the carrots and water to the Instant Pot and cook for 2 minutes on high pressure. After that release the pressure of the pot and add the cinnamon and honey to the Instant Pot. Stir it together to ensure the glaze coats everything thoroughly.

If you wish for a little bit of spice to go with your sweet carrots, a spicy Instant Pot rice can be found here.

The contrast of the spice and sweet make a great meal.

Once again, the best part of cooking with the Instant Pot is the ease of the clean up. I love how easy cooking with Instant Pot is. Delicious one pot meals that are ready in mere minutes with a clean up that is quick and easy.
