Serves 6 Hands-On Time: 10m Total Time: 30m

Ingredients

• 4 large carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch sticks
• 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• kosher salt

Preparation

Step 1

1. Place the carrots in a large skillet. Dot with the butter and sprinkle with the sugar and ¼ teaspoon salt. Add enough cold water to come halfway up the sides of the carrots.
2. Simmer, partially covered, until the carrots are tender and the liquid has reduced to a glaze, about 20 minutes. (If the carrots are done before this point, transfer them to a bowl, increase heat to high, and cook the liquid, uncovered, until reduced. Return the carrots to the pan and toss.)
