Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound carrots
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the carrots and cut them into uniform-sized pieces, approximately 2-3 inches long and 1/2 inch thick.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the carrots to the skillet and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften slightly.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the maple syrup, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for another 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender and coated in the glaze.
Remove the skillet from the heat and allow the carrots to cool slightly. The glaze will thicken further as it cools.
Transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
