Steps
Wash, peel, and slice the carrots diagonally into ½ inch thick slices.
Add the carrots to a large skillet along with the water. Cover with a lid and cook over medium heat for 5-6 minutes or just until the carrots start to soften.
Remove the lid and add the butter, brown sugar, salt and ground cinnamon. Stir until the butter and brown sugar have melted. Leave the lid off and continue cooking the carrots for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated and a glaze starts to form.***
Once the carrots are tender to your liking, remove the skillet from the heat and season with freshly ground black pepper and fresh chopped parsley (optional).

Kathryn on 2026-06-16 (5 stars): Can you use frozen carrots?
Scott Linda on 2025-12-01 (5 stars): Excellent and very easy to make. The hint of cinnamon added to the recipe. Will definitely make again.
Karis on 2025-01-30 (5 stars): These are so good. Perfectly seasoned. I make them at least twice a month, which is really often for me to repeat any food. We all get excited when these are on the menu. Thank you!
Pam on 2024-12-21 (5 stars): Used baby carrots and this was delicious. Love that it is simple-because I am no cook!! I will for sure have these again!
Randi on 2024-11-18 (4 stars): want to make these, but I have a question. I have a small place and I am SEATING 10 at the table. SO can this be made the day before and still be very good. YUP my kitchen is small also so I have to really plan how and when to do all of it.
Lauren on 2024-10-04 (5 stars): These were delicious! Easy, cheap, and tasty, these kinds of recipe are the reason I love BudgetBytes. I've made glazed carrots before, but I don't think any with cinnamon, so I thought that was a nice touch.
Lori on 2024-05-16 (5 stars): I made these for dinner with meatloaf. There was none left. Yummy! Thank you.
