Instructions
To recreate this glazed carrots recipe, follow these step-by-step instructions:
Prepare Your Carrots
Start by peeling your carrots to remove the outer skin. This will give your carrots a clean and polished appearance. If desired, you can also slice the carrots into rounds for a different presentation.
Cooking the Carrots
Next, place your Miriam’s Earthen Cookware Large Pan on the stove over medium-low heat. Add the unsalted butter and allow it to melt gently, releasing its enticing aroma.
Glazing the Carrots
Once the butter has melted, stir in the pure maple syrup and brown sugar. The mixture will start to bubble slightly, indicating that it’s time to add the carrots. Toss the carrots in the sweet glaze, ensuring that each piece is well coated. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Simmer to Perfection
Reduce the heat to low and let the carrots simmer gently in the glaze. Alternatively, you can transfer the pan to a preheated oven at 350°F. The Miriam’s Earthen Cookware pot will distribute the heat evenly, allowing the carrots to cook through while absorbing the rich flavors of the maple syrup and brown sugar. This process should take about 15-20 minutes, or until the carrots are tender but still have a slight bite to them.
Garnish and Serve
Once the carrots are beautifully glazed and cooked to perfection, transfer them to a serving dish or keep them right in the pan. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
