Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: For the best results, use fresh, young carrots that are about the same size. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Trim the carrots: Before cooking, trim the carrots by cutting off the tops and bottoms. You can also peel the carrots if desired, but this is not necessary.
  • Glaze the carrots: To make the glaze, combine molasses, water, butter, salt, and pepper in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Add the carrots and cook until they are tender and coated in the glaze.
  • Add marjoram: For extra flavor, add a few sprigs of fresh marjoram to the glaze. This herb pairs well with carrots and adds a subtle, earthy flavor.
  • Serve immediately: Glazed carrots are best served immediately. They can be enjoyed as a side dish or as a snack.
