Ingredients

• 500 grams carrots
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 250 milliliters Guinness beer
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the carrots and cut them into evenly sized sticks or rounds, about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 2

In a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until it begins to foam.

Step 3

Stir in the brown sugar and allow it to dissolve in the butter, creating a smooth mixture.

Step 4

Add the carrots to the pan and toss them to coat evenly with the butter and sugar mixture.

Step 5

Pour in the Guinness beer and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 6

Add the salt and black pepper, then stir gently to combine.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the skillet with a lid. Let the carrots simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and the liquid has reduced to a glossy glaze.

Step 8

Remove the lid for the final 5 minutes of cooking to allow the glaze to thicken further, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 9

Once the carrots are glazed and tender, transfer them to a serving dish and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy!
