Glazed carrot side dish Recipe

American · Side dish · 30 min total

Tender carrots are cooked in a sweet and buttery glaze, making a simple and elegant side dish that pairs well with roasted meats or holiday feasts.

Ingredients

• 1 lb carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1/4 cup chicken or vegetable broth
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1. Place carrots in a large skillet with butter, brown sugar, broth, salt, and pepper.
2. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring to combine.
3. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Uncover and increase heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring frequently, until liquid reduces to a syrupy glaze and carrots are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Tips

• For a richer flavor, use homemade broth.
• Can be made ahead and reheated gently; add a splash of water if glaze thickens too much.
• Substitute maple syrup for brown sugar for a different sweetness.
