1
Prepare the Carrots
Begin by washing the carrots thoroughly under cold water. Peel the carrots using a vegetable peeler to remove the outer skin. Cut the carrots into uniform pieces, about 1 to 2 inches in length.
2
Cook the Carrots
In a large pot, bring water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the prepared carrot pieces and a teaspoon of salt. Cook the carrots for about 5-7 minutes or until they are tender but still slightly crisp. Drain the carrots and set them aside.
3
Make the Glaze
In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the brown sugar, honey, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of black pepper. Stir the mixture well until the sugar is dissolved and the glaze is smooth.
4
Combine Carrots and Glaze
Add the cooked carrots back into the pot with the glaze. Stir gently to coat the carrots evenly with the sweet glaze. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the carrots to become fully coated.
5
Garnish and Serve
Remove the pot from heat. Transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish. Serve warm and enjoy your sweet glazed carrots!
