Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb carrots
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp honey
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Peel the carrots and trim off the ends. Slice the carrots diagonally into 1/4-inch thick coins for even cooking.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the water, brown sugar, honey, and salt to the skillet. Stir to combine.
Place the sliced carrots in the skillet and stir gently to coat them in the glaze.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender but still slightly firm.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the glaze thickens and coats the carrots evenly.
Season with ground black pepper to taste and stir again to distribute the flavors.
Transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
