Carrots are one of my favorite vegetable recipes, and these honey brown sugar glazed carrots are a classic.

Baby carrots are cooked in butter, brown sugar, and honey until tender and caramelized.

All you need is 3 basic ingredients plus salt to make this simple side dish.

These carrots are perfect for a simple dinner or make a double batch for an easy side dish for Thanksgiving!

Some of our other favorite carrot recipes include roasted frozen carrots, garlic butter carrots, and oven roasted carrots.

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. The glaze will absorb better onto dry carrots.

Step 2: Melt the butter in a large skillet. 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.

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.
