Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 250 milliliters Guinness beer
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the carrots and cut them into evenly sized sticks or rounds, about 1/2 inch thick.
In a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until it begins to foam.
Stir in the brown sugar and allow it to dissolve in the butter, creating a smooth mixture.
Add the carrots to the pan and toss them to coat evenly with the butter and sugar mixture.
Pour in the Guinness beer and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the salt and black pepper, then stir gently to combine.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the skillet with a lid. Let the carrots simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and the liquid has reduced to a glossy glaze.
Remove the lid for the final 5 minutes of cooking to allow the glaze to thicken further, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the carrots are glazed and tender, transfer them to a serving dish and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
