BEST GLAZED CARROTS

I had to get this recipe from my mother in law as it was the only way my husband would eat carrots. It was then that I discovered why and now it's the only way either of us will eat them!

Provided by Kellogs

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 35m

Yield 2 , 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1/2 lb carrot (baby carrots are the best!)
2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons brown sugar

Steps:

  • Place carrots in a saucepan and pour in just enough water to cover.
  • Bring to a boil and simmer until carrots are tender (about 10 minutes).
  • Drain water from pan.
  • Add butter and brown sugar to the carrots and stir to dissolve.
  • Simmer for approximately another ten minutes over medium-high heat until the carrots look glazed (keep up the occasional stirring).
  • I like to sprinkle with a little salt when serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Look for carrots that are firm, smooth, and have a deep orange color. Avoid carrots that are limp, cracked, or have brown spots.
  • Peel and cut the carrots evenly: Peeling the carrots will help the glaze adhere better. Cut the carrots into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • Use a good quality butter: Butter adds a rich flavor to the glaze. Use unsalted butter so that you can control the amount of salt in the dish.
  • Don't crowd the carrots in the pan: If you overcrowd the carrots, they will steam instead of roasting. Make sure there is enough space between the carrots so that they can brown evenly.
  • Roast the carrots until they are tender: The carrots should be tender when pierced with a fork, but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooking the carrots will make them mushy.
  • Make the glaze while the carrots are roasting: This will give the glaze time to thicken and develop flavor.
  • Toss the carrots in the glaze: Once the carrots are roasted, toss them in the glaze until they are evenly coated.
  • Serve the carrots immediately: Glazed carrots are best served immediately after they are made. They can be reheated, but they will not be as crispy.

Conclusion:

These simple glazed carrots are a delicious and easy side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. They are perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The carrots are roasted until they are tender and then tossed in a sweet and tangy glaze. The glaze is made with butter, brown sugar, honey, and spices. It is the perfect complement to the roasted carrots. If you are looking for a simple and delicious side dish, these glazed carrots are a great option.
