How to Make Honey Glazed Carrots
- Put in 2-3 cups of water in a large pot or pan on medium-high heat and bring to a boil. When ready, put in the carrots and use a fork to poke to check if tender, boil for about 10-12 minutes.
- Empty the water out of the pot and put in the remaining ingredients and mix until combined and cooked with the carrots for about 2-3 minutes or until the butter is melted and the sugar in the mix is completely dissolved.
What Carrots are Best for this Recipe?
We love to use baby carrots or even petite carrots that come in the bag at the grocery store. However, you can cut larger fresh carrots into slices if you prefer with the same results.
What To Serve With Honey Glazed Carrots
I love serving these tender honey glazed carrots with a heaping serving of Mississippi Pot Roast and a fluffy scoop of mashed potatoes. Add 30-minute Dinner Rolls on the side and it’s pretty much dinnertime heaven.
