Glazed Carrots

brown sugar glazed carrots on a serving platter made with butter, salt and pepper for a sweet and savory side dish
  • Serves:  4
  • Prep Time:  5 min
  • Cook Time:  15 min

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds medium carrots, trimmed, peeled
  • 4 tablespoons salted butter
  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Method

  1. Cut the carrots crosswise into 2-inch pieces. If they are more than 1-inch thick, halve or quarter them lengthwise into pieces, otherwise, leave them whole. 
  2. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add the carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, until carrots are tender and butter is browned, 8 to 10 minutes. 
  3. Stir in the brown sugar and cook until the brown sugar is dissolved and the carrots are coated and slightly caramelized, about 4 minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper. 
  4. Divide the carrots among 4 plates and serve.
