Glazed Carrots

Tender carrot coins simmered in brown sugar and butter, topped with parsley.

Serves 6 servings

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lbs carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch thick slices
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)

Instructions

1. Place the carrots in a large pan and add 1 1/2 cups of water. Bring the carrots to a simmer.
2. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until carrots are tender. Drain off any excess water.
3. Add the butter, brown sugar and salt to the pan. Stir to coat the carrots.
4. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until a sauce has formed.
5. Sprinkle with parsley if desired, then serve.

Notes

Cut carrots into uniformly sized pieces so they cook at the same rate. Leftovers keep up to 3 days in the fridge.
