Glazed Carrots

This is a simple glazed carrot recipe perfect as a side to any roast meat. Don't worry, this isn't an overly sweet carrot recipe, I tried to make it as savory as possible while still maintaining the subtle sweet flavor of the carrots.

Ingredients

1 – 1lb. bag baby carrots
½ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons sugar
½ cup low-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 teaspoons lemon juice
Black pepper

In a nonstick skillet, bring carrots, broth, and sugar to a boil. Reduce to medium, cover, and simmer until carrots are fork-tender (estimated time: 10 minutes, could be more).

Add butter and toss carrots to coat. Cover and allow glaze to form for 3 minutes.

Off of the heat, stir in the lemon juice season with some pepper and serve.
