1
Prepare the Carrots
Wash and peel the carrots. Cut them into uniform pieces, about 1 to 2 inches long, to ensure even cooking.

2
Cook the Carrots
In a medium-sized saucepan, add the cut carrots and pour in the water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
3
Simmer
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the saucepan. Let the carrots simmer for about 5-7 minutes until they are just tender.
4
Prepare the Glaze
In a separate small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in the brown sugar, honey, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the sugar has dissolved and the ingredients are well combined.
5
Glaze the Carrots
Once the carrots are tender, drain any excess water from the saucepan. Pour the glaze over the carrots and stir gently to coat them evenly.
6
Cook the Glazed Carrots
Continue to cook the glazed carrots over medium heat for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until the glaze thickens slightly and coats the carrots.

7
Serve
Remove the glazed carrots from heat and transfer them to a serving dish. Serve warm as a delicious side dish.
