Glazed Carrots

Here is a delicious side that is sweet and can be paired with just about any dish. The sweet flavors created when combing the carrots and the brown sugar resemble a sweet potato, however, the texture offered here is a little tougher and not quite as mushy.

Glazed Carrots
Serves 3-4
1 1/2 lb sliced carrots (you can also use julienne strips)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 Tbsp butter
1/2 tsp salt

  • In 2-quart saucepan, heat 2 cups water to boiling. Add carrots and reduce heat. Simmer uncovered for 6-9 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain and reserve.
  • In 12-inch skillet, cook remaining ingredients over medium heat, stirring constantly, until bubbly.
  • Stir in carrots. Cook over low heat about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until carrots are glazed and hot.
