Sweet and tender carrots glazed with a luscious honey and brown sugar sauce, perfect as a simple and delicious side dish for any meal.
1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch thick slices
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
Place the sliced carrots in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the carrots are just tender, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Drain the carrots and set aside.
In the same saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the honey and brown sugar to the melted butter and stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth, about 2 minutes.
Add the cooked carrots back to the saucepan and gently toss to coat them evenly with the honey and brown sugar glaze.
Season with salt and ground black pepper, stirring to combine.
Cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens slightly and coats the carrots well.
Remove from heat and transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top for a fresh, colorful finish.
Serve warm.
