Glazed Carrots

 

Mrs. Cohen used to say "you can never go wrong with serving glazed carrots for any meal."  She was right. If I wasn’t in the mood for making a fancy side dish, I’d always go for the glazed carrots recipe she gave me. It is an easy and inexpensive side dish that can be served for a weekday, a Sunday or a fancy holiday dinner. 

Serves 6

Ingredients:

1 1/2 lbs carrots peeled and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices

1/4 cup butter

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon chopped parsley optional

Instructions

Place the carrots in a large pan and add 1 1/2 cups of water. Bring the carrots to a simmer

Cook for 8-10 minutes or until carrots are tender. Drain off any excess water.

Add the butter, brown sugar and salt to the pan. Stir to coat the carrots.

Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until a sauce has formed.

Sprinkle with parsley if desired, then serve.
