Glazed Carrots
These Glazed Carrots are an easy and delicious side dish that requires only five ingredients and 20 minutes to prepare.
Equipment
- Large Skillet with a Lid
Ingredients
- 1 lb. whole carrots Can also use baby carrots cut in half.
- ½ cup water
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoon brown sugar Use dark brown sugar for deeper flavor.
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Wash, peel, and slice the carrots diagonally into ½ inch thick slices.
- Add the carrots to a large skillet along with the water. Cover with a lid and cook over medium heat for 5-6 minutes or just until the carrots start to soften.
- Remove the lid and add the butter, brown sugar, salt and ground cinnamon. Stir until the butter and brown sugar have melted. Leave the lid off and continue cooking the carrots for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated and a glaze starts to form.
- Once the carrots are tender to your liking, remove the skillet from the heat and season with freshly ground black pepper and fresh chopped parsley (optional).
Notes
Use whole carrots for best results, and preferably peel them before cooking. Additional time may be required to form a glaze depending on your stove's heat level. If the sauce doesn't thicken as desired, increase the heat to medium-high.
