Brown Sugar Carrots-Flavorful carrots that only need just a few ingredients.  They are great for a weeknight dinner or your next holiday gathering! 

Ingredients Needed:

• Carrots
• Brown sugar
• Butter
• Water
• Dried parsley, optional 

• Pin it for Later

Recipe Notes:

• Carrots:  I use a 1 pound bag of pre-cut and pre-washed baby carrots.  It just makes life a bit easier.  However, you can use whatever type of carrots you wish.  Just keep them about the same size (coins will also work)  if you are cutting them yourself.  You will need about 3 cups.
• Storage: Keep any leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator. They are best eaten within a week. 

Serve Them With:

• Mini Meatloaves
• Chicken Pillows
• Baked Parmesan Crusted Chicken
