Candied Carrots
Yield: 8 servings
Tossed in a mixture of cinnamon, brown sugar, and honey, these Candied Carrots are perfectly sweet and savory. A quick & easy side dish for Easter, Thanksgiving, or Christmas - or ANYTIME!!
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter divided
- 3 pounds carrots peeled and sliced into 1/2" pieces on the diagonal (if you have especially large carrots, slice them a bit thinner)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Heat a 12" skillet over medium heat. Add 6 tablespoons of the butter. Once butter melts, add carrots, and stir to coat. Place cover on skillet and cook for 25 minutes.
- Remove cover and cook for 5 to 10 minutes more, stirring occasionally, until carrots are fork tender. If your carrot pieces are on the large side, you may need to cook a bit longer.
- Add remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, plus honey, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Bump up the heat just a bit, to medium-high, and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes until honey mixture is syrupy and thickened. Taste test and add more salt if needed. Serve warm.
