- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

- Cook 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are glazed and the liquid has reduced to a sticky coating.
- Sprinkle with parsley and serve warm.
Good to Know
Swap the maple syrup for honey if that is what is in the cupboard; the ratio and the timing stay the same.
