Step 1

Wash and peel the carrots. Cut them on the diagonal/bias into ⅜-inch thick pieces. Then cut any large pieces in half.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large cast iron skillet or other heavy skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the carrots to the pan and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, for about 15 minutes, or until carrots are crisp-tender.

Step 4

Add the brown sugar and butter to the pan and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring, until the butter melts and the carrots are evenly coated with the glaze. Serve.
