Share:
Ingredients
- 2 pounds carrots washed, peeled and cut into ½’’ thick slices
- 1 ½ cups water
- 3 Tablespoons butter
- ¼ cup light brown sugar packed
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground pepper
Instructions
- Combine carrots and water in saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 8-10 minutes or until carrots are just becoming tender when pierced with a fork.
- Drain water off carrots.
- Add butter and brown sugar to saucepan, stir to combine and cook on low until butter is melted and makes a sauce, about 4-5 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
Notes
- Substitute Baby Carrots
- How to reheat
- You can substitute baby carrots in place of regular carrots. They make take a few more minutes to cook as they can be larger.
- Microwave - Place carrots in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat the carrots in one-minute intervals, stirring in between, until they are warmed through. I recommend doing this in one-minute intervals so you don't overcook the carrots. They will turn mushy if overcooked.
- Stove - Place Carrots in a saucepan. Add 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of butter. Heat the carrots over medium heat, stirring to coat them in the butter. Once they are heated through they are ready to serve. It's a good idea to add the extra butter so the carrots don't stick to the bottom of the pan while they cook.
