Glazed Carrots
A delightful way to bring sweetness and sophistication to any meal with perfectly glazed carrots.
Ingredients
Instructions
Start by washing the carrots thoroughly. If using larger carrots, peel and slice them into uniform pieces, about 1-2 inches long.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the carrots along with just enough water to cover the bottom of the pan, about 1/4 cup. Cover and steam the carrots for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender but not mushy.
Once the carrots are tender, remove the lid and add the butter and brown sugar. Stir until the butter has melted and the sugar starts to bubble.
Increase the heat to medium-high and let the mixture bubble for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until the glaze thickens.
Season with salt and pepper, and if desired, add fresh herbs or spices. Stir well to combine.
Remove from heat, transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish, and garnish with additional herbs for presentation.
