Ina’s glazed carrots are made by simmering sliced carrots in a mixture of butter, sugar, salt, and water until they become tender and the liquid reduces into a shiny glaze. The result is a dish that’s bright, sweet, buttery, and versatile, perfect for weeknight dinners or holiday tables.
2 pounds carrots, peeled and cut diagonally into ½-inch thick slices
1 teaspoon kosher salt
⅓ cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup water
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Peel the carrots and slice them on the diagonal into ½-inch thick pieces for elegant presentation and even cooking.
Place the carrots in a large sauté pan or saucepan.
Add the salt, sugar, butter, and water.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook uncovered for about 10–15 minutes, or until the water has mostly evaporated and the carrots are tender when pierced with a fork.
Continue cooking until the butter and sugar create a light glaze that coats the carrots. Stir gently to coat them evenly.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh finish, if desired. Serve warm.
