Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Gather ingredients: baby carrots, unsalted butter, light brown sugar, minced garlic, and water. Rinse and pat the carrots dry. Heat a large skillet on medium.
  2. Add carrots, unsalted butter, light brown sugar, minced garlic, and water to the skillet. Stir to coat the carrots evenly, melting the butter and sugar.
  3. Cover the skillet and let simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring halfway to ensure even cooking.
  4. Remove lid, increase heat to medium-high, and stir frequently as the excess moisture evaporates and the glaze thickens.
  5. Cook uncovered for 5 to 7 minutes until carrots are tender and the glaze is syrupy. Test carrot tenderness with a fork.
  6. Turn off heat, add freshly chopped parsley, and stir gently. Serve warm with extra glaze spooned on top.
