Carrots are a versatile and delicious vegetable that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. One way to make them even more flavorful is by caramelizing them.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
Add the baby carrots and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.
Sprinkle the brown sugar and salt over the carrots, and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for another 5-7 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and caramelized.
Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley if desired.
Serve immediately.
Notes
Use a non-stick pan for even cooking and easy cleanup.
Keep an eye on the heat to avoid burning the sugar.
Stir the carrots frequently for even caramelization.
Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar.
Feel free to add other seasonings, like garlic or ginger, for a flavor twist.
