Glazed Carrots Recipe
Bright, buttery carrots coated in a simple honey glaze—this Glazed Carrots Recipe is your new go-to side dish for weeknight dinners, holiday feasts, or any time you crave a sweet-and-savory vegetable delight.
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds medium carrots peeled and cut on the bias into ½-inch slices
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter Kerrygold adds rich flavor
- 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar light or dark, your choice
- 2 tablespoons honey local or clover honey works best
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- ¼ cup water or low-sodium vegetable broth for more depth
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat, ensuring every carrot slice is coated.
- Add sliced carrots, sauté until edges start to brown, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in brown sugar, honey, salt, and pepper. Pour in water or broth, cover the skillet.
- Reduce heat, simmer covered for 6-8 minutes until fork-tender.
- Increase heat, cook uncovered for 2-3 minutes until glaze thickens and coats carrots.
- Taste, adjust seasoning if needed. Transfer to a serving bowl, sprinkle with parsley before serving.
Notes
If the glaze is too thin, let it bubble longer. Carrots can be sliced thinner if very thick or cooked longer under the lid for extra tenderness.
