Ingredients
- 1 lb carrots
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp honey
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 cup water
Directions
Step 1
Peel the carrots and trim off the ends. Slice the carrots diagonally into 1/4-inch thick coins for even cooking.
Step 2
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the water, brown sugar, honey, and salt to the skillet. Stir to combine.
Step 4
Place the sliced carrots in the skillet and stir gently to coat them in the glaze.
Step 5
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender but still slightly firm.
Step 6
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the glaze thickens and coats the carrots evenly.
Step 7
Season with ground black pepper to taste and stir again to distribute the flavors.
Step 8
Transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy!
