Ingredients

• 500 grams carrots
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons Irish Mist whiskey
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and trim the carrots, then cut them into even-sized sticks or rounds about 1/4 inch thick for even cooking.

Step 2

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the carrots and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender but still slightly firm. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the brown sugar until it dissolves, forming a thick glaze.

Step 4

Add the Irish Mist whiskey to the skillet and stir well. Allow the mixture to cook for 1-2 minutes to burn off the alcohol while retaining the flavor.

Step 5

Add the drained carrots to the skillet and toss well to coat them evenly in the glaze.

Step 6

Season with salt and black pepper. Stir and cook for another 3-5 minutes over medium heat, allowing the glaze to slightly caramelize onto the carrots.

Step 7

Remove from heat and transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish.

Step 8

If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness before serving.
