HOW DO YOU MAKE GLAZED CARROTS?
The first step is to peel and cut your carrots. I typically cut my carrots into slices, but if you’d rather cut them into sticks that’s fine too. You can also use a bag of peeled and cut baby carrots. The carrots simmer in water until tender, then brown sugar, butter and salt go into the pan. Add a bit of parsley if you like, then serve.
TIPS FOR GLAZED CARROTS
Make sure your carrots are cut into uniformly sized pieces so that they cook at the same rate.
You can substitute honey or maple syrup for the brown sugar.
I like to add a sprinkling of parsley on top for color, but that’s an optional step.
You can cut and peel your carrots up to 3 days before you plan to make this recipe.
