Glazed Carrots

Step 1

Place the carrots in a large skillet and add enough water so all the pieces are submerged by about half an inch. Place over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes or until fork tender, then drain.

Step 2

Add the butter, sugar, salt, and pepper to the same skillet. Place over medium-low heat and stir until the butter is melted. Stir in the carrots and toss to coat.

Step 3

Increase temperature to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens, about 5 minutes. Garnish with minced parsley and serve warm.
