Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds baby carrots

1 ½ cups chicken broth
6 tablespoons butter
⅓ cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Blanch carrots in a large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Transfer carrots to bowl of ice water using slotted spoon. Return water to boil.

Tips:

  • Select the right carrots: Choose baby carrots that are small, tender, and have a uniform size. This will ensure even cooking.
  • Trim the carrots: Trim the ends of the carrots and peel them if desired. Leaving the skin on will give the carrots a slightly more rustic look.
  • Boil the carrots: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the carrots. Boil for 5-7 minutes, or until the carrots are tender but still slightly firm.
  • Make the brown sugar glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, butter, water, and cinnamon. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened.
  • Glaze the carrots: Add the boiled carrots to the saucepan with the brown sugar glaze. Stir to coat the carrots evenly.
  • Serve: Serve the brown sugar glazed baby carrots immediately. They can be enjoyed as a side dish or as a snack.
