Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional garnish: chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Place sliced carrots in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 5-7 minutes, until tender-crisp.
  2. Drain the carrots well.
  3. Return the carrots to the saucepan. Add butter, brown sugar, honey, salt, and pepper.

  5. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less brown sugar and honey.
  • These glazed carrots pair well with roasted meats and are a great addition to any meal plan.
