Easy Glazed Carrots (Carrots Vichy)

Ingredients

• 4 medium carrots (peeled and cut into 1/8-inch thick slices)
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 and 1/3 cup water
• 1/4 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
• 1/8 tsp ground black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Melt the butter in a deep and large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add the sugar and stir to dissolve.

2. 2

   Next, add the sliced carrots and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring regularly. Season with salt and pepper.

3. 3

   Cover with the water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until all of the water has evaporated and the carrots are tender. If carrots are not cooked and there is no more water, add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water and continue cooking.

4. 4

   Keep cooking for another 3-4 minutes, stirring regularly, until the carrots get slightly browned edges. Taste and adjust the saltiness to taste.
