Even my family who despises carrots like the delectable side dish made from simmering boiled carrots in butter and brown sugar! Never are any leftovers present.

SO GOOD THESE ARE MY FAVORITE AND I ADDED 1 TABLE SPOON OF HONEY BUTTER TO THE MIXTURE HONEY BUTTER IS WONDERFUL . thank You
4-23-23. So easy to make. Lovely side dish for my baked chicken
Yep, delicious! I used organic carrots slicing them with my food processor. I steamed mine then used real unsalted butter along with less brown sugar. So simple and tasty!
Yes, love them! I add a little cinnamon… YUMMY
Great way to prepare carrots. I also cut back a bit on the sugar to carrot ratio and added a touch of rosemary-garlic. Delicious.
I mixed tarragon in with the butter & brown sugar,it was very tasty
This is a good recipe. I’ve never been a huge fan of cooked carrots, but the butter and brown sugar make them pretty tasty.
We loved it. I cooked them in the microwave with a plate on top.
Have been making mine like this for years except I add a little salt.
So delicious!
Delish! Thank you
A perfect glaze for carrots. Just enough sweetness to bring good flavor.
I followed the recipe exactly, but I did find it a little vague about how much water I should leave in the bottom of the pan. I will definitely leave less than I did the first time around. Overall, great recipe that was enjoyed by many.
I will make it again it smells amazing and is delicious!!!!
Trusted the reviews- glad we did. Our carrots had been in the fridge for a bit- We don’t like cooked carrots but we were trying to be frugal… these were perfect. No bitter carrot taste !!
It was kind of bland, so I sprinkled in some cinnamon. That helped a little bit. I was disappointed that it did not get a glaze on it. I drained all the wayer before adding the butter and brown sugar, but it was still very watery. Hubby liked it. Not sure if I’ll make it again.
Simply made, immensely enjoyed!!
I never really liked cook carrots until now!
I used baby carrots and cooked until a fork went through easily. Very good!
So tasty! Easy to make on the fly!
We loved it. I made it as recipe said. My husband asked for it again tonight.
