Brown-Sugar Glazed Carrots image

A touch of dried rosemary gives sweet glazed carrots some herbal depth.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Quick & Easy Recipes

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 pounds carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch lengths, halved or quartered if thick
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon light-brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
Coarse salt and ground pepper

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, place carrots, butter, sugar, rosemary, and 1 1/4 cups water; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer, and cook until carrots are tender, 10 to 12 minutes. (If water evaporates before carrots are tender, add 1/4 cup more.)
  • Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until liquid is reduced to a glaze, 1 to 2 minutes more.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Look for fresh, young carrots with smooth skin and no blemishes. Avoid large, thick carrots, as they tend to be tough and fibrous.
  • Peel and trim the carrots: Use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin from the carrots, then trim the ends.
  • Cut the carrots into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If you're using baby carrots, you can leave them whole.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the carrots, make sure there's enough space in the pan for them to cook evenly. If the pan is too crowded, the carrots will steam instead of roasting.
  • Roast the carrots at a high temperature: This will help them caramelize and develop a delicious flavor.
  • Add flavorings to the carrots: You can use a variety of herbs, spices, and other flavorings to enhance the flavor of the carrots. Some popular options include butter, honey, maple syrup, brown sugar, garlic, thyme, and rosemary.
  • Glaze the carrots: Once the carrots are roasted, you can glaze them with a mixture of melted butter, honey, and maple syrup. This will give them a shiny, delicious glaze.

Conclusion:

Glazed carrots are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. They're easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like them sweet, savory, or somewhere in between, there's a glazed carrot recipe out there for you. So next time you're looking for a simple but delicious side dish, give glazed carrots a try.
