Brandy Glazed Carrots
With so many things happening during the holidays, it’s great to have easy recipes such as these brandy and honey glazed carrots that are fuss-free and a perfect side dish. They’re cooked all in one skillet and you end up with tender, sweet glazed carrots every single time.
What I love most about these carrots is how elegant they look, colorful, shiny and scrumptious. Although these are the perfect side dish for your holiday dinner, I would literally make these any time of the year for any occasion.
Ingredients Notes
- Carrots – I love using baby carrots, but you can totally use regular carrots sliced on the bias about 1/4 inch in thickness.
- Butter – butter does make everything better and I really wouldn’t skip it.
- Honey – use your favorite honey.
- Brandy – this is the star ingredients, but for an alcohol free version add some garlic instead and make honey garlic carrots.
- Salt and pepper – use as much or as little as you like.
