Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prep the carrots
Peel and cut the carrots into uniform slices so they cook evenly.
Step 2: Cook the carrots
Place the carrots in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 5–7 minutes, until just tender. Drain and set aside.
Step 3: Make the glaze
In the same saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar, salt, and pepper until smooth and bubbling.
Step 4: Coat the carrots
Add the cooked carrots back into the pan. Toss to coat them evenly in the brown sugar glaze. Cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are fully glazed and slightly caramelized.
Step 5: Serve and garnish
Transfer the carrots to a serving dish. Sprinkle with fresh thyme or parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy the sweet, buttery goodness!
Step 4: Tips & Variations
✅ Use baby carrots for a quicker-cooking, uniform size.
✅ Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm, cozy flavor.
✅ For extra shine, drizzle a little honey or maple syrup over the finished carrots.
