Scale
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Carrots, washed and peeled
- ½ cup Brown Sugar
- ¼ cup Butter
- ½ tsp Salt
- 1 ½ cup Water
Instructions
- Slice the carrots: Cut the peeled carrots into ½ inch thick slices to ensure even cooking and tenderness.
- Simmer the carrots: Place the sliced carrots in a large skillet, add 1 ½ cups of water, cover, and simmer over medium-high heat. Let them cook until tender, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Drain excess water: Once the carrots are tender, remove the lid and drain any remaining water from the skillet to prevent sogginess.
- Add the glaze: Stir in the brown sugar, butter, and salt with the carrots. Continue cooking for an additional 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until a thickened, glossy glaze forms and evenly coats the carrots.
- Serve warm: Transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish and enjoy them warm as a sweet and savory side dish.
Notes
- You can adjust the brown sugar amount depending on your preferred level of sweetness.
- For a softer texture, slice the carrots thinner.
- This dish pairs well with roasted meats or holiday dinners.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
