Easy Glazed Carrots

The classic technique for making glazed carrots involves adding just the right amount of water to a saucepan along with carrots, butter, and sugar and simmering for the exact length of time it takes for the liquid to reduce to a syrup and the carrots to become just tender. I usually overcook the carrots or add too little water, so I like this more forgiving technique. Cook the carrots in boiling water until crisp-tender and drain.

1. Step

Bring a large saucepan of generously salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the carrots and cook until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.

2. Step

Place the saucepan over low heat. Add the butter, brown sugar, and mustard and heat, whisking occasionally, until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved, about 3 minutes.

3. Step

Return the carrots to the saucepan. Add the vinegar, stir to coat the carrots, and heat until warm, about 2 minutes. Taste and season with salt as needed. Serve immediately.
