Ingredients

  • 2 lb carrots
  • 4 Tablespoons salted butter 56 g
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup honey (or maple syrup)
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1 teaspoon parsley
  • 2 Tablespoons water

Instructions

  • Wash and peel carrots, then slice them at a diagonal angle into about 1 inch pieces.
  • Place carrots into a large frying pan with the remaining ingredients.
  • Bring to a boil over medium heat, cover with lid, and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the glaze thickens and the carrots soften. Test for doneness with a fork.
    15 minutes for a more firm carrot, 20 minutes for softer/larger carrots.

Notes

Note: You can cut the carrots into coins instead of diagonally, you may need to adjust the cooking time a little. 
Refrigerate for 3-4 days. 
Freeze for up to 3 months.
