Steps:
- Melt butter in saucepan.
- Add carrots, salt, sugar and just enough water to barely cover the carrots.
- Cover and cook carrots on medium heat until tender.
- (time depends on carrot size. I usually cook baby carrots for about 25 minutes.) Remove lid, bring saucepan to a boil and boil until water is evaporated completely, leaving carrots with a sticky, buttery glaze.
- Watch carefully and stir so carrots do not scorch.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon and mix.
- Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose the right carrots: Look for fresh, firm carrots with smooth skin and no blemishes. Avoid carrots that are limp or have cracks or bruises.
- Peel and cut the carrots evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If you are using baby carrots, you can leave them whole.
- Use unsalted butter: This will prevent the glaze from becoming too salty. If you only have salted butter, be sure to omit the salt from the glaze recipe.
- Make sure the glaze is thick enough: The glaze should be thick enough to coat the carrots evenly. If it is too thin, it will run off the carrots and not stick.
- Don't overcook the carrots: Cook the carrots until they are tender but still have a slight crunch. Overcooked carrots will be mushy and bland.
Conclusion:
Cinnamon glazed carrots are a quick and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are sweet, savory, and slightly crunchy, and they pair well with a variety of main courses. Whether you are looking for a simple weeknight side dish or a special holiday dish, cinnamon glazed carrots are sure to please everyone at the table.
