These tender, but crisp brown sugar honey glazed carrots are a tad sweet and full of flavor! Such a simple vegetable side dish that is ready in under 30 minutes!
1tablespoonchopped fresh dillthyme, and/or parsley, to garnish
Instructions
Place baby carrots and ½ cup water in a large skillet and heat over medium high until water comes to a simmer. Add salt and cook, stirring frequently, until the water has fully evaporated and the carrots are starting to soften.
Add the butter, honey, and brown sugar and stir to dissolve the sugars into the butter. Cook about 5 minutes longer until the sauce has reduced to a thick glaze and the carrots are fork tender.
Season to taste with additional salt and pepper. Garnish with freshly chopped herbs and toss to distribute the herbs evenly into the glaze.
Notes
For softer carrots, simmer in more water until desired tenderness. Then drain the water before adding the ingredients for brown sugar honey glaze.
This recipe makes enough glaze for 2 pounds of carrots. Simply double as needed.
Feel free to swap the herbs with your favorites! Carrots go well with most and the herbs balance out the sweetness perfectly!
For more sweetness (add honey to taste) and/or leave out the herbs.
