Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by washing and peeling medium-sized carrots. Cut them into uniform pieces, roughly 1-inch long.
  2. In a large skillet, add a splash of water and place the prepared carrot pieces. Cover with a lid and heat over medium for about 5 minutes.
  3. Once tender, uncover the skillet and lower heat. Add the brown sugar, butter, and salt. Stir to coat evenly.
  4. Continue cooking over medium to medium-low heat, stirring frequently for 5 to 10 minutes, until the glaze thickens.
  5. If the glaze is too thin, increase heat slightly and stir until thickened. Add water if it becomes too thick.
  6. Remove from heat and transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish. Enjoy!
