These Brown Sugar Honey Glazed Carrots are the perfect balance of sweetness and savory flavor, making them an irresistible side dish for any meal. Tender carrots coated in a luscious glaze of brown sugar and honey, with a caramelized finish.

Ingredients

1 lb carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces

2 tbsp unsalted butter

2 tbsp brown sugar

2 tbsp honey

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp ground black pepper

1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and cut the carrots into 1-inch pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
  3. Once the butter has melted, add the brown sugar and honey. Stir until the mixture starts to bubble and thicken.
  4. Add the carrots to the skillet, stirring to coat them evenly with the glaze.
  5. Season with salt, pepper, and cinnamon (if using). Continue to cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender and the glaze has thickened into a syrupy consistency.
  6. Once the carrots are cooked through and glazed, remove from heat and serve.

Notes

  • For extra tenderness, blanch the carrots in boiling water before adding them to the glaze.
  • For a spicy twist, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce.
  • Chopped pecans or walnuts can be sprinkled over the finished carrots for added texture.
  • Substitute margarine for butter, or use maple syrup or agave nectar in place of honey for a vegan option.
