For a richer flavor, use salted butter and omit any additional salt. A pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg adds a warm, comforting note. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or thyme for a pop of color and herbaceousness. For a vegan option, substitute the butter with a high-quality vegan butter alternative.

01 Step
Recipe View Gather all ingredients. (2 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View In a large saucepan, bring salted water to a rolling boil. Add carrots and cook until tender-crisp, about 8-10 minutes. Test for doneness with a fork; they should be easily pierced but still retain a slight bite. (12 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Drain the carrots well, reserving about 1/4 cup of the cooking water. (2 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Return the carrots to the saucepan. Add brown sugar and butter. (1 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View Over medium heat, simmer and stir until the butter is completely melted and the brown sugar has dissolved, creating a smooth, glossy glaze. (3 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View Continue to simmer for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the glaze to thicken slightly and coat the carrots evenly. If the glaze becomes too thick, add a tablespoon or two of the reserved cooking water to thin it out. (5 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View Remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and deepen before serving. (5 minutes)
