Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pound peeled carrots (about 12; each 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt

  • Cut the carrots into even-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly. You can cut the carrots into slices, chunks, or rounds.
  • Glaze the carrots: In a saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar, honey, apple cider vinegar, water, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Add the carrots: Add the carrots to the saucepan and stir to coat them in the glaze. Cover the saucepan and cook the carrots for 10-15 minutes, or until they are tender.
  • Serve immediately: Glazed carrots are a delicious side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. They are also a great addition to holiday meals.
