Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium carrots
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Peel the carrots and slice them diagonally into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to foam.
Add the sliced carrots to the skillet and stir to coat them evenly with the melted butter.
Sprinkle the brown sugar, honey, cinnamon, ginger, and salt over the carrots. Stir well to combine.
Pour the water into the skillet, cover with a lid, and reduce the heat to low. Let the carrots simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but not mushy.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Allow the liquid in the skillet to reduce and thicken into a glossy glaze, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Once the carrots are evenly coated in the glaze, remove the skillet from the heat.
Transfer the Carrots Supreme to a serving dish and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
