Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots
Description
Start by slicing peeled carrots into ½ inch pieces and simmering them in water over medium-high heat until tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. After draining excess water, brown sugar, butter, and salt are stirred in and cooked further to form a glossy glaze that clings to the carrots. The glaze thickens slightly as it cooks, adding a sweet and rich finish.
The dish highlights the balance of sweet and savory elements, making it a popular accompaniment to roasted or grilled meats. Serve warm to maintain the sauce’s smooth texture and shine.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs carrot washed and peeled
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup butter

Instructions
- Slice the carrots into 1/2" thick slices and place them in a large skillet.
- Add the water to the skillet. Cover and medium high heat until the carrots are simmering.
- Continue to cook over medium heat for approximately 8-10 minutes or until the carrots are tender.
- Drain off any excess water.
- Then stir in the brown sugar, butter and salt. Stir to coat the carrots in the butter and seasoning.
