Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds slender whole carrots peeled, tops trimmed to 1 inch
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped (optional)
Flaky sea salt for topping (optional)

Equipment

Large skillet

Method

Simmer carrots, water, and salt in a covered large skillet over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes.
Uncover and cook until the water evaporates.
Add butter and brown sugar.
Cook, turning often, 5 to 7 minutes, until glossy and caramelized.
Season with pepper. Top with parsley and sea salt.

Notes

Cut any extra thick carrots in half lengthwise so they cook evenly.
Make ahead: simmer the carrots earlier in the day, refrigerate, then glaze right before serving.
Leftovers keep 4 days in the fridge. Rewarm in a skillet with a small pat of butter.
