Ingredients Method

Ingredients
 

  • 4 peeled, sliced carrots
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Large skillet
  • Colander
  • Chef’s knife
  • Cutting board
  • Measuring spoons
  • Peeler

Method
 

  1. Peel the carrots and cut into even slices about ¼ inch thick.
  2. Bring salted water to a boil in a saucepan. Add the carrots and parboil about 5 minutes, then drain well.
  3. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the carrots and cook, stirring, until nearly tender.
  4. Sprinkle the sugar over the carrots and stir. Continue cooking until tender and lightly browned, stirring often so the sugar does not scorch.
