Here’s a simple and delicious Amish-Style Glazed Carrots recipe—sweet, buttery, and perfect as a side dish. 🥕
Ingredients
- 1 lb Carrots, peeled and cut into sticks or rounds
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 3 tablespoons Brown Sugar (or honey for a lighter glaze)
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- Optional: pinch of Ground Cinnamon or Nutmeg for warmth
Instructions
- Place the carrots in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until just tender, about 5–8 minutes. Drain.
- In the same pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add brown sugar (or honey) and stir until it melts and starts to bubble.
- Return the carrots to the pan, tossing to coat them in the glaze.
- Cook for another 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until carrots are glossy and tender.
- Season with salt and optional spices, then serve warm.
Tips
- For extra flavor, add a splash of Orange Juice or a sprinkle of Chopped Parsley before serving.
- Carrots can also be roasted in the oven with the same glaze for a slightly caramelized effect.
✅ Serving idea:
These Amish-style glazed carrots pair wonderfully with Roast Chicken, Pork Tenderloin, or a hearty holiday meal.
If you want, I can also share a slow-cooker version that keeps the carrots tender and perfectly glazed with zero stirring.
