Glazed Carrots
These glazed carrots transform simple vegetables into glossy, caramelized coins coated in a buttery honey-brown sugar glaze. Perfectly tender with a balance of sweet and savory flavors, they’re an easy, timeless side dish for Thanksgiving or any weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Instructions
Peel the carrots under cool running water, trim both ends, and slice into uniform ¼-inch rounds for even cooking.
Fill a medium saucepan with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil. Add carrots and cook for 5-7 minutes until tender but not mushy. Drain well.
Return the empty saucepan to medium heat, melt the butter until foamy, then stir in honey and brown sugar until dissolved and glossy.
Add the drained carrots to the bubbling glaze, toss gently to coat, and cook over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes until the glaze thickens and lightly caramelizes on the carrots.
Remove from heat, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, toss again, and transfer to a serving dish.
