This quick carrot recipe comes together in minutes on the stovetop (in just one pan!).
A Sweet & Easy Side Dish
Glazed carrots are an inexpensive dish with lots of flavor. The brown sugar glaze uses ingredients you likely have. It cooks in just one pan, meaning less mess and fewer dishes. Glazed carrots are super easy to make and add a pop of color and a bit of sweetness to your meal. Perfect for a weeknight or a holiday like Easter, Christmas, or Thanksgiving!
How to Make Glazed Carrots
You can use this recipe for glazed carrots of any kind. Try regular, rainbow, or baby carrots. Garden fresh carrots are usually more tender and will need less cooking time. Baby carrots are easiest as you don’t need to peel or chop them.
Variations
Replace maple syrup with honey if desired. Add a sprig of fresh thyme, a sprinkle of pecans, or even a squeeze of orange juice or lemon juice. Garnish with fresh herbs (we like parsley or thyme).
Tips for Perfect Glazed Carrots
You can use fresh or frozen, whole or baby carrots. Cut the thicker ends of carrots in half so they cook evenly. Garden carrots will cook faster than store-bought carrots. Prepare the carrots up to 4 days ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator in a sealed container.
Got Leftovers?
This glazed carrot recipe will last 5 days in the fridge in an airtight container. Reheat leftover glazed carrots in a frying pan, the oven, or a microwave. They can be eaten chilled and added to salads too! Got more carrots? For the grand finale, try carrot cake cookies, carrot cake cheesecake or carrot cake!
