These glazed carrots are made with a simple mixture of brown sugar and butter. The mixture creates a sweet and beautiful glaze that pairs perfectly with naturally sweet carrots. It makes a delicious side dish for a holiday like Easter or Thanksgiving, a family dinner, or even a potluck.

Light or dark brown sugar will work in this dish. The orange veggie is braised in a mixture of butter, sugar, and water until perfectly cooked. The water evaporates as the carrots cook, leaving them glazed with a sweet brown sugar coating. If you have extra chicken, beef, or vegetable broth or stock lying around, use it instead of the water for extra flavor.

Serve the carrots with a ham, pork loin, or chop dinner, since the sweetness pairs nicely with pork. Roast lamb or duck are also good choices. Serve alongside a green vegetable like sautéed green beans or roasted asparagus.
