    Glazed Carrots - only 4 ingredients!

    Published: Apr 9, 2016 by Susan Moncrieff · This post may contain affiliate links · 1 Comment

    It seems like I have been asking my kids every single day to eat their vegetables!   Today, I'm sharing a simple veggie dish called glazed carrots.

    I'm trying to up my game a little in the veggie department.  Trying to do just a little more than steam them and serve.   The above carrots are carrots I loved when I worked for a catering company when I was in college.

    Glazed carrots are really easy and use a few ingredients that you already have at home!

    Ingredients:

    2 lbs carrots, peeled and sliced (or you can use baby carrots)
    2 TBS water
    ¼ cup honey
    ¼ cup salted butter
    ¼ cup brown sugar

    Directions:

    Steam carrots for about 5-7 minutes until they are crisp-tender.   You want them just a little under done because you will be cooking in the glaze for another couple of minutes.

    In a saucepan, start with about 2 tablespoons water, melt butter, then add honey and brown sugar.  Keep the temperature on the low side because you don't want to scorch your butter .

    Add steamed carrots and cook and stir them in your glaze for a couple of minutes.

    Serve in a nice plate and garnish with parsley, if desired.

    Funny story.  Most bloggers garnish with parsley because it just makes a dish look pretty.  My kid's looked at the carrots and asked, "What's the green stuff?"   Just so you know, they are teenagers.   I explained what parsley was.   Parsley is an herb, it's healthy to eat, has a very mild flavor and makes a food dish look attractive.  I thought we were having an 'adults' mature conversation about nutrition and food staging.

    "Mom, don't put green stuff on my food."  Yup, that's what the conclusion of our conversation was {sigh}.

    But, the glazed carrots do taste good!  They have a bit of a sweet and salty combination which makes the carrot flavor much more interesting.

    If you do have picky eaters, don't put green stuff on their food : ).

    Glazed carrots. A delicious side dish.

      I confess, I always ignore the "Garnish with..." line at the end of a recipe. Just can't be bothered! Maybe if I was hosting a dinner party but not for regular family meals. Feel free to send your teenagers here for dinner.
