Ingredients
- 2 pounds carrots
- 3-4 cups water (or more if needed)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Scrub or peel carrots and slice into 2-inch slices. Set aside.
- Combine water and salt in a high-walled skillet. There should be about 1" of water in the skillet so add more water if needed. Bring water to a boil over high heat. When water is boiling, add carrots and cover with a lid. Reduce heat to medium and allow carrots to steam for 5-7 minutes or until just crisp tender. Do not over cook.
- Drain off carrots and set aside. In the same skillet, over medium heat combine brown sugar and butter. Stir constantly until the mixture becomes melted and smooth. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until mixture is bubbly and thickens a little.
- Add carrots back into the skillet with the brown sugar mixture and gently stir until carrots become coated in the mixture. Serve immediately.
