Elevate your side dish game with these luxurious Honey Glazed Brandied Carrots! Sweet, savory, and subtly spiked with the warmth of brandy, this recipe transforms simple carrots into an irresistible centerpiece. Tender carrot coins are sautéed in butter, then coated in a luscious honey and brandy glaze, perfectly balanced with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. With just 30 minutes from prep to plate, this quick and elegant dish is ideal for holiday gatherings or weeknight dinners. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness, and serve warm for a show-stopping accompaniment that'll leave everyone asking for seconds.
Peel the carrots and slice them on the diagonal into 1/4-inch thick coins. Alternatively, you can cut them into thin sticks (batons) for a different presentation.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the prepared carrots to the skillet and sauté for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots start to soften slightly.
Stir in the honey, brandy, salt, and ground black pepper. Toss the carrots to coat them evenly in the glaze.
Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender and the glaze has thickened slightly.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
