Candied Carrots

Step 1

Scrub or peel carrots and slice into 2-inch slices. Set aside.

Step 2

Combine water and salt in a high-walled skillet. There should be about 1" of water in the skillet so add more water if needed. Bring water to a boil over high heat. When water is boiling, add carrots and cover with a lid. Reduce heat to medium and allow carrots to steam for 5-7 minutes or until just crisp tender. Do not over cook.

Step 3

Drain off carrots and set aside. In the same skillet, over medium heat combine brown sugar and butter. Stir constantly until the mixture becomes melted and smooth. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until mixture is bubbly and thickens a little.

Step 4

Add carrots back into the skillet with the brown sugar mixture and gently stir until carrots become coated in the mixture. Serve immediately.
