Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb baby carrots
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp ranch seasoning mix
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the baby carrots thoroughly and drain them well.
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the brown sugar to the melted butter and stir until it dissolves completely.
Pour in the water and mix to combine, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the baby carrots to the skillet, tossing them to coat evenly in the glaze.
Cover the skillet and cook the carrots for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become tender but not mushy. Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning the glaze.
Remove the lid and stir in the ranch seasoning mix, allowing the flavors to meld together for an additional 2-3 minutes of cooking.
Transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish and, if desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
