Best Instant Pot Carrots
My recipe for candied carrots uses whole carrots with a glaze of maple syrup, green onions, and brown sugar.
The simple ingredients in this recipe come together to give the carrots so much flavor. Maple syrup, brown sugar, and green onions pair together deliciously in a glaze. In fact, it’s the same glaze I use for my Instant Pot Ham!
This is easily one of my favorite side dishes to serve for the holiday season. I love to pair these carrots with Air Fryer Ham. Candied carrots with maple syrup paired with the kick of sriracha from the ham is perfection!
These glazed carrots are just so delicious, my family and guests always want extra! Since they take hardly any time to make, I usually whip up a second batch.

Can you use baby carrots in this recipe?
You can substitute baby carrots for regular carrots. They work really well on this recipe.

Can this recipe use the little pre-packed little carrots instead of whole larger carrots

Em Beitel says
Hi Trudy! Yes, absolutely. That should work just fine. Thank you for your question!

Are you referring to maple flavored pancake syrup, such as Log Cabin or Mrs Buttersworth? Or do you mean actual pure maple syrup.

Em Beitel says
Hi Theresa! Thank you for your question. Either will work fine – pure maple syrup or your pancake syrup! Please enjoy!

If you make ahead what’s the best way to heat them up?

Em Beitel says
Hi Yvonne! I would personally heat them up using the warming function of the Instant Pot until they are nice and hot again.
