  • 3 tablespoons Butter
  • ¼ cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
  • a pinch Cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Add the carrots to a deep skillet or saucepan and cover them with water. Boil over high heat until the carrots are tender-crisp, checking after 5 minutes.

  • Season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Slice carrots evenly for uniform cooking.
  • Taste before adding salt.
  • Check regularly to avoid overcooking.
  • Feel free to substitute cinnamon with nutmeg or ginger for different flavors.
