wow!! wow. Since I have limited oven space for Easter dinner, I had to make these carrots ahead of time. It’s truly amazing!! And it’s very simple. Even my husband, who is against vegetables, said, “Wow, it’s delicious.”
Why These Carrots Keep Inviting You Back
- Caramelized Glaze: In my recipe, I cook the brown sugar and butter long enough to create a caramelized glaze.
- Balanced Sweetness: The glaze has a good balance of sweet and savory, so the carrot flavor still shines through.
- Perfect Texture: The cooking temperature will keep the carrots soft with a slight chew, rather than turning them mushy or mushy.
Ingredients for Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots
- carrots: Fresh whole carrots are best because you can cut them into desired sizes. Keep it the same thickness so it cooks evenly. If you’re short on time, baby carrots work well.
- Brown sugar: Brown sugar is common here, but honey or maple syrup will both work. Use the same amount.
How to Make Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots
Carrots are a staple in our house, and these glazed carrots are my favorite way to serve them, especially at Thanksgiving and Christmas. A little brown sugar definitely helps kids like vegetables.
- prep: Preheat the oven to 400°F, then spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Peel the carrots, cut them diagonally, and place them in a large bowl.
- Make the sauce: Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Add brown sugar, minced garlic, pepper, and salt. Then stir until combined.
- Coat carrots: Pour the butter mixture over the carrots and toss to coat evenly.
- Cooking Carrots: Spread the carrots in an even layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes, then add the carrots to the pan and stir-fry. Bake for 15 minutes more, or until carrots are soft and caramelized. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired.
