Ingredients
- 4 cups peeled and sliced 1/2 inch thick carrots
- 3 tablespoons salted butter
- 3 tablespoon brown sugar or brown sugar monkfruit if watching carbs
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- salt to taste, don't skip!
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet to medium heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt completely.
- When the butter is bubbling add the peeled and sliced carrots, toss to coat in the butter. Do your best to get the carrots into a single layer. Reduce the heat to medium low and set a timer for 10 minutes, only stir the carrots 3-4 times during the 10 minutes. You want to give the natural sugar in the carrots a chance to caramelize.
- After 10 minutes sprinkle the brown sugar and paprika in the skillet and toss to coat. Stir the carrots until a brown sugar glaze forms. This will take about 5 minutes.
- The carrots are done when they are tender and the brown sugar glaze is thick. Add salt to taste.
