Ingredients

2 lbs. carrots peeled and sliced into 1-inch pieces
2 tbsp salted butter
3 tbsp brown sugar
Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

Place the sliced carrots in a small pot and add water to just cover the carrots.
Boil the carrots until cooked, they should still be firm, about 8-10 minutes.
Drain the carrots and set aside.
In a medium non-stick pan melt the butter over medium heat. Add the carrots and stir to coat the carrots with the butter.
Add the brown sugar and stir until dissolved.
Continue to cook the carrots over medium high heat stirring occasionally until the sugar begins to caramelize on the carrots, about 7-10 minutes. Let the carrots get a good caramelization without stirring too much.
Remove from the heat sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt and parsley.
