To be perfectly honest, my favorite way to eat carrots is raw. BUT.. there are instances when a cooking is obligatory. This is my favorite way to eat them if they are cooked ! As an added bonus, they are magnificently easy!

How to Make Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots

1. Wash carrots. Peel them. Cut them in half, crosswise. Then quarter them, lengthwise. If they are very fat, they should be cut in eights lengthwise.



2. Add about one cup of water to the pan. Cover and bring to boil. Boil about 1 minute. Drain the water, immediately.



3. Place about one tablespoon of butter in the pan.



4. Add brown sugar and increase heat to high.



5. Turn with a spatula until browned. Optional; finish with a splash of balsamic vinegar.

This is such a fast, easy vegetable dish!
