How to make honey brown sugar glazed carrots
Step 1: Rinse the baby carrots in a colander and pat completely dry. Baby carrots straight out of the bag usually have a lot of liquid, so this step is important.
Recipe Tip
The glaze will absorb better onto dry carrots, so do not skip this step! Drying the baby carrots first will allow for the best flavor and texture.
Step 2: Melt the butter in a large skillet, then add the baby carrots and brown sugar.
Step 3: Pour the honey over the top of the brown sugar carrots and stir it all together. Cook the carrots over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring regularly, until the glaze thickens and coats the baby carrots.
Step 4: Salt to taste then serve the carrots immediately and enjoy!
These are really so simple and a favorite with anyone who tries them. The sweetness of the honey and brown sugar glaze is so delicious and even my kids will happily eat these!
Carrots are a great side dish for Thanksgiving, and these would be an easy addition to your holiday table!
I suggest making a double or triple batch depending on how many people you will be cooking for. One batch makes around 6 side dish servings.
Glazed carrots or candied carrots are one of those vegetables that everyone loves. We really enjoy them and I love that they take hardly any time to make! They are a go to side dish in our family.
