Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots Irresistible Side Dish

Ingredients

• 1 pound baby carrots, peeled
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
• to taste none salt
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• optional none fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. In a large pot, bring enough water to boil to cover the carrots. Add a pinch of salt.
2. Add the baby carrots to the boiling water and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender but still firm. Drain and set aside.
3. In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
4. Once melted, add the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the butter, stirring constantly until the mixture becomes frothy and bubbly (about 1-2 minutes).
5. Add the cooked baby carrots back into the pot, stirring to coat them evenly with the glaze.
6. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the carrots are well-glazed and heated through.
7. Remove from heat and drizzle with lemon juice for a touch of brightness. Adjust salt to taste.
8. Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
