Ingredients Needed for Glazed Carrots

This glazed carrots recipe calls for just a few simple ingredients.

  • Carrots, (of course) I like to use baby carrots, but you can absolutely use full carrots is you would like. Just peel and slice before cooking.
  • Water for steaming carrots
  • Butter
  • Brown Sugar
  • Mustard, I know you’re thinking..’I don’t want my carrots to taste like mustard’, but they won’t. It just add a tangy little zip to your carrots.

Steps for making cooked carrots

How to Make Glazed Carrots

These are so simple to make, ready to eat in about 7 minutes.

The first step is to cook the carrots. I like to do this in the same pan, so I only have one thing to clean. Place the carrots in the pan with the water and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat and allow to simmer for about 5 minutes, until the carrots are fork tender (meaning a fork easily slides into them). Remove the lid and allow the water to steam out.

Once the carrots are soft and most of the water has evaporated from the pan, melt the butter in the pan with the carrots. Add in the brown sugar and mustard and stir to coat all of the carrots. The butter and brown sugar will cook and almost caramelize forming the glaze on the carrots. Season with salt if desired.

The parsley is a nice garnishing touch, but totally optional if you don’t have any on hand.
