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.

Ingredients
  

  • 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

Instructions
 

  • 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.
