How to make Maple Glazed Carrots

To make these carrots, simply place the sliced carrots into a large saucepan and cover with water.

Add a teaspoon of salt and bring to the boil.

Reduce the heat to medium/low and simmer until tender – about 15 – 20 minutes. Drain and return back to the pan, lid-on to keep warm.

Melt the butter in a skillet over medium/low heat. Stir in the maple syrup, brown sugar, and cinnamon (if using), and cook until warmed – about 3 – 5 minutes.

Add the carrots and toss to coat.

Season with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.
