Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Place the sliced carrots and water in a medium saucepan.
- Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to low, cover the pan, and cook for 8 minutes, or until carrots are tender-crisp. Drain off any excess water.
- Add the sugar, butter, salt, and pepper to the saucepan with the carrots.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring gently, until the butter melts and the liquid reduces to a light glaze that coats the carrots, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Serve immediately as a Thanksgiving classic.
Notes
- For a deeper flavor, substitute brown sugar for half of the granulated sugar.
- You can prepare the carrots up to the draining step ahead of time and refrigerate them. Reheat before glazing.
