Ingredients
- 6 medium carrots
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and peel the carrots. Slice them diagonally into 1/4-inch thick rounds for a visually appealing presentation.
Step 2
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the brown sugar, honey, salt, pepper, and water to the skillet. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture forms a smooth sauce.
Step 4
Add the sliced carrots to the skillet. Toss them in the glaze to coat evenly.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the skillet with a lid. Let the carrots cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but not mushy.
Step 6
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Allow the sauce to simmer and thicken slightly for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Taste the glazed carrots and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper, if needed.
Step 8
Transfer the carrots to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy!
