Glazed Carrots

Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs carrots peeled and cut into 1/2 inch thick slices
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon chopped parsley optional

Directions:

Place the carrots in a large pan and add 1 1/2 cups of water. Bring the carrots to a simmer
Cook for 8-10 minutes or until carrots are tender. Drain off any excess water.
Add the butter, brown sugar and salt to the pan. Stir to coat the carrots.
Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until a sauce has formed.
Sprinkle with parsley if desired, then serve.

This is a simple recipe that is easy to customize to suit your tastes.
Sweetener: You can substitute honey or maple syrup for the brown sugar if needed.
Vegetables: I sometimes add other root vegetables to this dish such as parsnips, thinly sliced sweet potatoes and even yellow beets.
Toppings: Finish your carrots with a sprinkle of nuts such as chopped pecans or toasted sliced almonds.
Add-Ins: Feel free to add other flavors such as a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon of fresh grated ginger, a squeeze of lemon juice or even a dash of vanilla extract.
