Instructions
Prepare the carrots
Peel the carrots and slice them diagonally into uniform pieces about 1/4 inch thick.
Pro tip: Evenly sized pieces ensure uniform cooking.
Melt butter
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until it is fully liquefied.
Pro tip: Avoid browning the butter to keep the glaze smooth.
Add sugar and water
Stir in the brown sugar and water, mixing until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Pro tip: Stirring constantly helps prevent the sugar from burning.
Cook the carrots
Add the sliced carrots to the skillet. Stir to coat the carrots in the glaze. Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender.
Pro tip: Check doneness by piercing a carrot with a fork; it should slide in easily.
Season the carrots
Remove the lid and increase heat to medium-high. Season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, for 5-7 more minutes until the glaze thickens and coats the carrots.
Pro tip: For a brighter colour, add a splash of lemon juice.
Garnish and serve
Transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
Pro tip: Serve warm for the best flavour.
Tips & Tricks
- Use fresh, young carrots for the best flavour and texture.
- Make sure to cut carrots evenly for uniform cooking.
- Brown sugar or honey can be used for glazing.
- Adjust the seasoning to taste with salt and pepper.
