Honey and Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots


I had this as a side dish last night and it was so delicious. Like the Acorn Squash I did in October it tasted more like a desert than a vegetable.



In a frying pan melt some butter. Rinse however many baby carrots you plan on eating and place into the pan. Squeeze in an ample amount of honey and then after a couple of minutes sprinkle on brown sugar. Keep on the pan (continually moving) for around 8 minutes. The carrots will start to get that glazed look and then the mixture on the bottom of the pan will start getting thicker and more molassesy (I love making new words) looking. Serve hot and pour any leftover glaze on top of the carrots when you plate them. Yum! Even bratty little kids should like this one!

We ate this with red beans and rice (I'm enjoying this love affair with Zataran's) and some chicken cooked in the wok. yumm
