Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound carrots, peeled and sliced diagonally
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  1. Combine the carrots, butter, brown sugar, water, and salt in a large skillet.
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
  3. Cover the skillet and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the carrots are tender-crisp.
  4. Uncover the skillet. Increase the heat to medium-high.
  5. Cook, stirring often, for 3 to 5 minutes until the liquid reduces and coats the carrots in a thick glaze.
  6. Remove from heat. Stir in black pepper.
  7. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a vibrant color, use a mix of rainbow carrots if available.
  • Do not overcook the carrots; they should still have a slight bite.
  • Taste the glaze before serving and add a tiny pinch more salt if needed to balance the sweetness.
