Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound carrots
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the carrots and slice them into uniform rounds or sticks, about 1/4-inch thick.
In a large skillet, combine the carrots and water. Cover the skillet with a lid and bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer the carrots for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are tender but not mushy. Drain any remaining water from the skillet.
Reduce the heat to low and add the butter, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, honey, and salt to the skillet with the carrots.
Stir the mixture gently to coat the carrots evenly with the glaze. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens and clings to the carrots.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish.
Optionally, sprinkle the glazed carrots with chopped parsley for a fresh garnish before serving.
