Ingredients
- 1 pound carrots
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the carrots and cut them into uniform-sized pieces, approximately 2-3 inches long and 1/2 inch thick.
Step 2
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the carrots to the skillet and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften slightly.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the maple syrup, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for another 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender and coated in the glaze.
Step 6
Remove the skillet from the heat and allow the carrots to cool slightly. The glaze will thicken further as it cools.
