Description

These glazed carrots are tender carrot coins simmered in a buttery brown sugar glaze and finished with parsley. A simple, affordable side dish perfect for holidays or weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch thick slices

1/4 cup butter

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)


Instructions

1. Place the carrots in a large pan and add 1 1/2 cups of water. Bring the carrots to a simmer.

2. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until carrots are tender. Drain off any excess water.

3. Add the butter, brown sugar, and salt to the pan. Stir to coat the carrots evenly.

4. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until a sauce has formed.

5. Sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired, then serve.


Notes

Cut carrots into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
