Favorite Cooked Carrots Recipe

I LOVE finding super easy but delicious side dishes. This next recipe is one of those. In fact, it has to be one of my all-time favorite side dishes ever!! My kids love them, the hubby and I love them, and they are so easy to do. I’m sure most of you have tried them, but the last time I made them they turned out super perfect, and I wanted to make sure I shared with you how I did them. The Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots recipe I used came from Simply Scratch. I modified it just a bit, and they turned out perfect!!

I honestly think I could eat these every day, and it’s not because they’re carrots… it’s because adding butter and brown sugar to carrots makes them so stinking good! If all vegetables tasted this good, I wouldn’t have a problem getting my daily dosage! Or getting my kids to eat their vegetables for that matter! The butter and brown sugar really bring out the flavor, and the carrots become so tender after cooking them – like MELT in your MOUTH tender! And even though they’re buttery, they’re not heavy at all, which makes them easy to pair with just about any main dish!

How to Cook Carrots:

This is definitely our favorite way to cook carrots because it’s so simple, we always have the ingredients on hand, and it’s so quick! It only takes me about 1o minutes to have these on the table, and it honestly turns out great every single time! The flavors of brown sugar and butter compliment the carrots so perfectly.

1. Bring carrots, water, butter and brown sugar to a boil in a pan over medium-high heat.
2. Turn to low and simmer for approximately 6 minutes.
3. Turn back to high and cook until all the water is evaporated and carrots are tender. It took me another 5-6 minutes.
4. Remove from heat. Salt and Pepper, and enjoy!

I could seriously eat a whole bowl of this right now!! It’s definitely my go-to side dish!! In fact, I love this recipe so much I tried it with Red Potatoes – and it was also amazing! I hope you like these Candied Carrots as much as we did.
