BROWN SUGAR-GLAZED CARROTS - Guide Recipe
These Brown Sugar-Glazed Carrots take carrots to a whole new level! Made with just 4 delicious ingredients , they come together quickly and make the perfect holiday side dish!
Can we talk for a minute about carrots? In particular , cooked carrots? For the life of me , I cannot get my kids to eat them! Or , I should say , I couldn’t get my kids to eat them…..until now. I think it has something to do with the flavor. And the texture. And the fact that I’m convinced I’ve been preparing them wrong for years.
I happened to be thinking about this right around the time I got my newAnolon cookware….and in between admiring my new pans and contemplating carrots , suddenly it hit me. I had been treating my carrots too much like green beans , when in reality , they’re much more like sweet potatoes! It was a lightbulb moment.
Before I get into the specifics of the recipe , I feel like I need to tell you how much I LOVE my new pans. They’re part of the Anolon Advanced Umber Collection , and when it comes to cookware , they’re top notch. Not only are they durable and so easy to clean , but they also feature SureGrip™ handles , making them extremely comfortable to cook with. And on top of it all , they’re a beautiful umber color that is perfect for the holiday season.
I’m not sure what it is about new (gorgeous) pans….but since I’ve had them , I’ve been inspired to get more creative in the kitchen! I think it has to do with the fact that they’re the perfect sizes , and durable enough to handle whatever I might throw their way. (The fact that clean-up is a cinch definitely doesn’t hurt , either!) I’m actually thinking of expanding my collection for Christmas , because the Anolon gourmet collections are vast. And when you find a product that inspires you in the kitchen , you need as many of them as you can get! (Am I right??)

Okay. Now that I’ve expressed my undying love for Anolon cookware , let’s talk about this recipe. My kids actually ate it….and loved it! Let’s just say it’s already on the menu for Christmas. These Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots couldn’t be more simple – just carrots , butter , brown sugar , and pumpkin pie spice – but the end result is beyond delicious. Sweet and buttery with a touch of winter spice. The way cooked carrots were meant to be.
