Step-by-Step Instructions
 

  • Begin by gathering all your ingredients to set the stage for your delightful culinary experience.
  • In a large pot, bring water to a boil and cook the baby carrots until they reach tender perfection, roughly 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Drain the carrots, setting aside just enough of the cooking water to barely cover the pan’s bottom; store carrots for later.
  • Incorporate the brown sugar and butter into the mix; keep it warm, stirring until the butter gently melts.
  • Return the carrots to the pot, tossing them thoroughly until they're beautifully coated. Allow them a few minutes to mingle the divine flavors.

Notes

Serve these sumptuous carrots as a perfect side dish for any family gathering or holiday feast. Try adding a touch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a festive flair!
