Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots – the perfect combination of sweet and spice! A quick side dish that you’ll want to make over and over. 

Full bowl of brown sugar glazed carrots - awesome side dishGlazed Carrots

Growing up, my mom was really great about making sure we had a balanced meal.  We often ate chicken, salad, fruit and/or vegetables.  One of my favorite vegetables was cooked, glazed carrots.  The best thing about making these carrots is that it takes little time and they are so good!

How to cook carrots

The most common way to cook carrots is in a pot on the stove.  Carrots can also be cooked in the microwave or roasted (yum!). Here’s a quick, easy way to do the basics:

  1. Place carrots in a pot.
  2. Fill with just enough water to cover the carrots.
  3. Bring to a boil over high heat, then turn to medium heat.
  4. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until tender with a sharp knife or fork.

To make an even more tasty version, see recipe below!

Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots

Take your cooked carrots and kick them up a notch with this brown sugar version.  This is a great way to ease kids into liking cooked carrots.  Some people don’t love the texture or the “mush” of cooked carrots.  But with a little bit of brown sugar, butter, cinnamon and salt, you really can’t go wrong.
