Ingredients
- 1 lb carrots peeled and sliced into 1/2 inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Instructions
- Place the carrots in a large pan. Add 1 cup of water to the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook the carrots for 8-10 minutes or until tender.
- Drain the water from the pan and return the pan to the stove over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, butter, salt and pepper.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes or until butter and sugar have melted and carrots are coated in the glaze. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
Notes
- You can cut your carrots into slices or sticks, either way will work fine. You can also use whole baby carrots if you don't want to do any peeling or chopping.
- This dish can be prepared up to 2 days before you plan to serve it. Store the finished carrots in an airtight container in the fridge, then reheat on the stove until warmed through.
