Ingredients
Scale
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
Place sliced carrots in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 5-7 minutes, until tender-crisp.
Drain the carrots well.
Return the carrots to the saucepan. Add butter, brown sugar, honey, salt, and pepper.
Cook over medium heat, stirring gently, until the butter is melted and the carrots are coated in a glossy glaze. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
For oven method: Toss carrots with melted butter, brown sugar, honey, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and glazed.
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.
