With the holidays right around the corner, I have been thinking of side dishes to serve. With the holidays always a time where things are so busy, the easier the recipe the better.

This brown sugar glazed carrots recipe can’t really get much easier. Everything is made in one skillet so it makes cleanup so much easier. Plus the carrots turn out to be super tasty.

I am sure you will love how easy this recipe is and the flavor of the carrots.

Helpful Tips:

  • I like to peel carrots before cooking or roasting them. If you prefer not to peel them, make sure to scrub them with a vegetable brush to remove all of the dirt and debris.
  • Cooking time may vary, it will depend on the size of the carrots and how tender you like your carrots.
  • Make sure to have a large enough skillet you don’t want to overcrowd the skillet.
  • Don’t overcook the carrots. Check often to see how tender the carrots are.
  • Cook until most of the liquid is evaporated, you will want some of the liquid to remain.
  • Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
