Quick Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots
These Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots are tender, buttery, and perfectly sweet with a hint of cinnamon. Made in one skillet with pantry staples, they’re an easy, family-friendly side dish you can whip up in minutes.
- 2 15 oz cans sliced carrots, drained
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar light or dark
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until it bubbles and smells nutty, about 1 minute.
Stir in brown sugar and cinnamon. Cook for 1 minute until glossy.
Gently fold in drained carrots. Stir to coat evenly without breaking them.
Simmer for 3–4 minutes until the glaze thickens and the carrots are tender. Stir occasionally.
