Ingredients
- 1 lb baby carrots
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp ranch seasoning mix
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the baby carrots thoroughly and drain them well.
Step 2
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the brown sugar to the melted butter and stir until it dissolves completely.
Step 4
Pour in the water and mix to combine, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 5
Add the baby carrots to the skillet, tossing them to coat evenly in the glaze.
Step 6
Cover the skillet and cook the carrots for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become tender but not mushy. Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning the glaze.
Step 7
Remove the lid and stir in the ranch seasoning mix, allowing the flavors to meld together for an additional 2-3 minutes of cooking.
Step 8
Transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish and, if desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color.
