Sweet ‘n Salty Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots

August 29, 2021 By Jessica Leave a Comment

Next time you’re seeking a quick and easy side dish, look no further than these brown sugar glazed carrots! Perfect for busy weekday dinners. This is one of my go-to side dishes. It’s simple enough for a family meal, yet elegant enough for a holiday gathering. A true crowd pleaser!

Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots

Carrots are something I always have on hand… as it’s one of the few vegetables I can get our six-year-old to agree to munch on. They’re naturally sweet, fairly inexpensive and stay fresh in the refrigerator drawer for weeks on end. Other kid-approved recipes you might enjoy include this Family-Friendly Charcuterie Board, my Italian Stuffed Stromboli, and these Air Fryer Fried Chicken Bites.

Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots

INGREDIENTS FOR BROWN SUGAR GLAZED CARROTS:

This recipe calls for 5 kitchen staples that you probably already have on hand. 

  1. Carrots
  2. Butter
  3. Brown Sugar
  4. Salt
  5. Italian Parsley

If you’d like to spice things up a bit, you can always add some freshly cracked black pepper, a dash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.

Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots

TIPS AND TRICKS ON HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE:

  • First you’ll want to peel and chop your carrots. Make sure to cut them in uniform to ensure that they cook evenly. You can also use a bag of baby carrots that are already peeled and the same shape. 
  • I personally love the pop of freshness with the Italian parsley, but it’s not a mandatory ingredient. 
  • Don’t have any brown sugar on hand? Try using a drizzle of maple syrup! 

HOW DO YOU MAKE GLAZED CARROTS?

The first step is to peel and cut your carrots. I typically cut my carrots into thick chunks, but if you’d rather cut them into sticks or chips… that’s totally up to you. 😉 You can also use a bag of peeled and cut baby carrots. The carrots simmer in water until tender, then the brown sugar and butter go into the pan. Finish the skillet off with a dash of salt and a bit of parsley and you’re ready to go!

SERVING SUGGESTIONS FOR THESE CARROTS:

Serves: 6
Ingredients
  • 2 lb. Large Carrots, peeled and cut into thick slices
  • ¼ cup Salted Butter
  • ¼ cup Brown Sugar
  • Kosher Salt, to taste
  • Chopped Italian Parsley, as needed for garnish
Instructions
  1. Peel and chop carrots, if needed. Place them in a large skillet over medium heat and add a cup of water. Bring carrots to a simmer and cover, allowing them to tenderize. About 6 minutes. Drain off any excess water.
  2. Add the butter and brown sugar. Continue to cook, stirring constantly until the sugar has dissolved. About 4 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle with chopped, fresh parsley, season with salt and enjoy immediately.

NOTES ON THIS RECIPE:

  • Feel free to peel the carrots ahead of time, if needed. Peel and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days in advance. 
  • Want to add a oomph of protein? Simmer the carrots in bone broth instead of water. A total game changer! 
  • It’s important to cover the carrots so they stem and tenderize. If you’re using baby carrots, cooking time will be far less so make sure to check them periodically so they don’t overcook.

DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 375F.
2. Shred cheese and separate into three equal-sized portions.
3. Roll pizza dough out into a rectangle onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. In a small bowl combine 1 tablespoon melted butter and two cloves of minced garlic. Brush over the top of dough.

Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush the three exposed edges of the dough.

6. Combine 2 tablespoons of melted butter along with the garlic powder and parmesan cheese in a small bowl. Brush the exterior of the Stromboli, covering all three exposed sides.
7. Using a serrated knife, make shallow diagonal cuts along the top of the Stromboli, about every 2 inches.

.
BLOG —> https://sliceofjess.com/italian-sausage-pasta-with-brown-butter-and-herbs/
.
INGREDIENTS:
• 1 lb. Boxed Pasta Noodles
• 2 tbsp. Kosher Salt
• 16 oz. Mild Italian Ground Sausage (1 lb.)
• 8 tbsp. Unsalted Butter (1 stick)
• 1 cup Freshly Grated Parmesan
• 1 tbsp. Garlic Purée
• ½ cup reserved Pasta Water
• 3 Tbsp. chopped Italian Parsley Leaves
• 1 Tbsp. Fresh Thyme Leaves
• Freshly Ground Black Pepper, to taste
.
DIRECTIONS:
1. Bring a large pot water to a rolling boil and sprinkle-in the salt. Add pasta noodles and cook according to the package directions for al dente.
2. While the noodles are cooking, brown the sausage and drain any access oil. Set aside until you’re ready for assembly.
3. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue to scrape the bottom with a wooden spoon until golden brown bits form and you smell a nutty aroma. This usually takes about 3 minutes. Be very careful not to burn the butter, otherwise you’ll need to start over. Once browned, remove from heat immediately.
4. Once cooked, reserve about ½ cup of the starchy pasta water before draining. Add noodles to the brown butter and toss to combine. Sprinkle in about ¾ cup of cheese and a big squeeze of Garlic Purée. Using tongs, stir the noodles with 2 – 3 tablespoons of starchy pasta water. Continue to stir, until a glossy sauce has formed. Feel free to add more or less pasta water to reach your desired sauce consistency. Typically, you will not use the entire ½ cup.
5. When sauce has formed, go ahead and mix-in the cooked sausage. Serve with remaining cheese, fresh herbs, and freshly cracked black pepper.
