Ingredients
- 1 lb carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add brown sugar and stir until dissolved.
- Add carrots, water, and salt. Bring to a simmer.
- Cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until carrots are tender.
- Uncover and increase heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring frequently, until liquid reduces to a glaze, about 3-5 minutes.

Tips
- For a deeper flavor, use maple syrup instead of brown sugar.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
