Ingredients

• 1 lb carrots
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 0.5 tsp kosher salt

Cooking instructions

1. Peel the carrots and cut them into 2-inch sticks or diagonal slices of similar thickness. (about 5 min)
2. Place the carrots in a medium saucepan and add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce to a steady simmer, and cook until fork-tender but not mushy, about 8 to 10 minutes. (about 10 min) — Simmer
3. Drain the carrots well and return the saucepan to the stovetop over low heat. Add the butter, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. (about 1 min) — Low heat
4. Toss gently for 2 to 3 minutes, until the butter and sugar melt into a glossy glaze that coats the carrots. (about 3 min) — Low heat
5. Remove from the heat, sprinkle with parsley, and serve warm. (about 1 min)
