LEMON GLAZED CARROTS


1- 1 1/2 lb carrots
1 1/2 Tablespoon butter
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 lemon zested and juiced
Pinch of salt and pepper
Parsley (opt)

Directions
1. Peel and cut carrots into desired shape. You could cut in half or quarters longways (like large carrot sticks) or into medallions. Cook carrots until tender by steaming or boiling. Steaming will retain more nutrients. This will take about 8 minutes.
2. Heat butter in a skillet over med-low heat; add brown sugar, lemon zest and lemon juice. (be sure to zest the lemon and then squeeze the juice) Continue to heat and stir until sugar dissolves.
3. Place the cooked carrots on a platter and drizzle the glaze over the carrots. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Garnish with chopped parsley.

This glaze could easily be halved. I felt like it was a bit much. I loved the lemon zing it had.
Yummy!
