Ingredients
- 1 pound carrots peeled & cut into sticks or rounds
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 pinch cinnamon
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley optional
Instructions
- Add the carrots to a deep skillet or saucepan. Cover them with water and boil over high heat until tender-crisp. Check after 5 minutes since timing will really depend on how thick the carrots are cut. Keep in mind the carrots will be cooked for a little longer in the next step, so once they're close to desired doneness, drain the water, returning the carrots to the pan.
- Add the butter, brown sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon to the pan. Cook over medium heat (or medium-low if it's too hot) for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened a little bit and the carrots are cooked to your liking.
- Season with salt & pepper as needed. Serve immediately with some parsley sprinkled over top if you wish.
