Instructions
- Peel the carrots and chop them on a diagonal into pieces about ½ inch thick.
- Add the butter, carrots, water, and sugar to a sauté pan and cook, covered, over low heat, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 20 minutes.
- Once the carrots are soft and most of the liquid has evaporated, they’re done. If required, add an extra splash of water if needed to cook the carrots longer.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper, toss the carrots with the parsley and serve.
Notes
- Make sure you keep a watchful eye on the carrots as they can burn quickly with the sugar in the heat. You want the carrots to be soft but not caramelized.
- For best results, make sure all of the carrots are cut the same size to ensure even cooking.
- Do not let Vichy carrots sit too long after cooking as the glaze could harden and the butter solidifies. Serve hot right from the pan if possible, or reheat before serving.
- Variations
- Add some chopped thyme and rosemary to the final dish for a delightful herbed flavor.
- Make them spicy or curry style by adding your favorite curry seasoning or chili flakes.
- Serving Suggestions
- Serve alongside French Onion Soup, Green Beans Almondine, Vegetable Quiche and Ratatouille for an authentic French vegetarian feast.
- A great addition to Easter brunch along with this Stuffed Butternut Squash.
- Makes a great side next to a serving of Mushroom Stroganoff.
- The perfect balance of sweet and savory vegetables with these Roasted Brussels Sprouts.
