Ingredients
2
bunches fresh spring carrots
the smaller/more tender, the better with stems
1
tablespoon
butter
2
tablespoons
brown sugar
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Separate carrots from green stems and wash well.
In a skillet over medium heat add the butter and brown sugar, stirring until melted.
Once melted, place the carrots in a single layer in the pan and gently toss to coat with the butter and sugar mixture.
Cook carrots, shaking the pan to turn them every minute or so for about 7-10 minutes until each side is golden brown and starting to caramelize.
Season with salt & pepper and transfer to a serving platter using stems to garnish.
Notes
*You can also cook and eat the stems. Simply sauté with some butter until wilted and season with salt and pepper.
