Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots
Brown sugar-glazed carrots are a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. Sweet, tender carrots are coated in a sticky, caramelized brown sugar glaze that is both sweet and savory. These carrots are a great way to add some color and flavor to your meal, and they pair well with a variety of proteins and grains.
To make brown sugar glazed carrots, you'll need a pound of carrots, 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. You'll also need a few sprigs of fresh thyme if desired.
To start, peel and slice the carrots into coins or diagonal slices. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat and then add the carrots to the skillet. Sprinkle the brown sugar and salt over the carrots and stir to coat them evenly. Cook the carrots for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are tender and the glaze has caramelized. Stir the carrots occasionally to ensure that they cook evenly and to prevent the glaze from burning.
