- fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Peel and slice the carrots into uniform pieces for even cooking.
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
- Add sliced carrots and sauté for about 5 minutes until slightly tender.
- Stir in brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Mix until the carrots are evenly coated.

Notes
Use maple syrup or honey instead of brown sugar for a different flavor. For a vegan version, replace butter with coconut oil. Add a pinch of cinnamon or cayenne for a twist. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days, and reheat in a skillet with a splash of water.
