Brown Sugar Honey Glazed Carrots
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!
Ingredients
- 2 pounds baby carrots
- ½ cup water
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill thyme, 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.
