Categories     Vegetable

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb baby carrots, peeled
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon of fresh mint, chopped (or chopped parsley)

Steps:

  • In a medium, shallow saucepan, add carrots, sugar, butter, salt and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 8 to 12 minutes, or until carrots are almost tender.
  • Turn up heat to boil rapidly until all the liquid has evaporated to form a shiny glaze. Toward the end of cooking time, watch carefully so sugar does not caramelize. Taste for seasoning.
  • Just before serving, add chopped mint or parsley; toss. Spoon into a serving dish.

I'm not a big fan of carrots, but I actually really enjoyed these. They're sweet and savory and the glaze is delicious.

These carrots are a great way to use up leftover carrots. I always have a few carrots leftover from other recipes and this is a great way to use them up.

I couldn't find shallots at the store so I used a small onion instead. They turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly and the carrots turned out mushy. I think I'll try roasting them next time.

I love this recipe! The carrots are always tender and flavorful. I often add a bit of Dijon mustard to the glaze for a little extra zing.
