Ingredients
- 1 pound baby carrots
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the baby carrots thoroughly under cold water. If needed, peel them to remove any rough spots.
Step 2
In a large sauté pan or skillet, add the water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add the baby carrots to the boiling water. Cover and reduce the heat to medium, allowing the carrots to steam for 8-10 minutes or until tender. Drain any excess water from the pan.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the butter to the pan with the carrots and let it melt completely.
Step 5
Stir in the brown sugar, honey, and cinnamon. Mix well to evenly coat the carrots with the glaze.
Step 6
Sprinkle the salt over the carrots and continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens and the carrots are lightly caramelized.
Step 7
Remove the pan from the heat. If desired, sprinkle with fresh parsley for a touch of color and flavor.
Step 8
Transfer the glazed baby carrots to a serving dish and serve warm. Enjoy!
