Cinnamon and Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots

These Cinnamon and Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots are a family favorite!

We don’t eat a lot of casseroles.  I’m more of a “meat and two sides” kinda cook.  You know, a meat, a starch and a green veggie, but sometimes I like to add carrots as an extra side dish.  

Cinnamon and Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots can be made with fresh or frozen baby carrots, large carrots or if you’re in a hurry canned are fine. It’s a great recipe for kids, even if they don’t think they like cooked carrots.  They are usually enticed by the sweetness…don’t tell them carrots are nutritious too.

Here’s the Recipe:

1 16 oz bag of baby carrots

1/2 cup brown sugar

3/4 tsp cinnamon

3 Tbsp butter 

Place carrots in pot and cover with water

Bring to a boil, reduce slightly and continue to boil about 20 minutes or until carrots are tender

Drain well and return to pot

Add sugar, cinnamon and butter, tossing to coat

*This recipe is subject to personal taste.  Add more sugar, cinnamon or butter depending on your preference. 

 Cinnamon and Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots go well with Parmesan Crusted Chicken with Bacon, Southern Fried Chicken, or Southwest Crockpot Chicken.
