Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 small Carrots
- 6 slices Bacon
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the small carrots, trimming the tops and bottoms for a uniform appearance. If small carrots are unavailable, larger carrots can be cut into sticks approximately 4 inches long and 1/2 inch thick.
Bundle two small carrots together and wrap one slice of bacon around the middle of each bundle. Secure with a toothpick if necessary.
Place the carrot bundles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the brown sugar, water, salt, and black pepper until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Drizzle the brown sugar glaze evenly over the carrot bundles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and the bacon is crispy. Turn the bundles midway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
Remove the carrot bundles from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Transfer to a serving plate and remove toothpicks if used.
Serve warm as a side dish, garnished with additional cracked black pepper if desired.
