Ingredients
- Carrots, peeled and sliced: 1 pound
- Butter: 2 tablespoons
- Brown sugar: 2 tablespoons
- Honey: 1 tablespoon
- Water: 1/4 cup
- Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
- Black pepper: 1/8 teaspoon
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Step 2: Add the carrots to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly tender.
- Step 3: Stir in the brown sugar, honey, water, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
- Step 4: Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and the glaze has thickened, stirring occasionally.
- Step 5: Remove the lid and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the glaze is glossy and coats the carrots evenly.
Notes
- Store leftover glazed carrots in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat glazed carrots gently in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water if needed to loosen the glaze.
- Serve glazed carrots as a vibrant and flavorful side dish alongside roasted chicken, pork, or a vegetarian main course.
- For a richer, more complex flavor, consider adding a pinch of ground cinnamon or ginger along with the salt and pepper.
