Instructions
Begin by peeling your carrots and cutting them on a diagonal, creating bite-sized pieces with an even cooking surface.
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, maple syrup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar. Mix these ingredients thoroughly and set the glaze aside for later use.
Place a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Allow the oil to warm up for about 2 minutes, ensuring the skillet is evenly coated.
Add the prepared carrots to the skillet. Using tongs, which make it easier, coat the carrots with the warm oil and sauté for approximately 5 minutes until they start to soften and take on a light golden color.
Pour the maple glaze over the carrots, tossing them to ensure they are well coated. Season with a pinch each of salt and black pepper to taste.
Continue to cook the carrots for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. They should be cooked until they are fork-tender and beautifully glazed.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, adding a pop of color and freshness to the dish.
Serve immediately and watch as this side dish becomes the star of your meal!
Cooking Tips
For an extra touch of elegance, use rainbow carrots.
Keep the heat at a medium level to avoid burning the glaze while still achieving a good caramelization.
