MAPLE GLAZED CARROTS
I don’t know about you but I’m a side dish kinda gal. I think that is what I love most about buffets and potlucks – all the side dish choices! I get positively giddy. I think I could fill an entire plate up with sides and be as happy as a clam. One of my favorites are these carrots.

CAN I SUBSTITUTE THE MAPLE SYRUP?
Absolutely! You can use honey instead of maple syrup. You can use real maple syrup or the corn syrup kind found in grocery stores. Whatever your family loves and will eat!
WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
salted butter
brown sugar
maple syrup
baby carrots
HOW TO MAKE MAPLE GLAZED CARROTS:
In a medium skillet, heat the butter, sugar, and maple syrup over medium heat, stirring until smooth and the butter is melted.
Add the carrots and toss to coat. Cover and reduce the heat to low.
Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until the carrots are tender and glazed.

Ok, I admit it; I'm a buffet gal as well. I love trying all the new dishes provided.
Side dishes are what make the world go round. Maple and carrots; yum. This looks fantastic.
AH-mazing!! I love side dishes too. I LIVE for the side dishes during Thanksgiving, haha. I love your carrots! My mom and I make something VERY similar to this. They are a fantastic side. Sweet and crunchy and delish!
These look delicious!
Your pictures are amazing and these carrots look scrumptious!!! Thanks for sharing =))
I make glazed carrots for a snack all the time…. A little honey, a little dill, some cooked carrots. Perfection.
Carrots are a hit at home, ever more making this recipe you have shared, nice and glossy looking carrots.
These look delicious! Might be on our Thanksgiving table! Thanks for sharing!
I'm always on the hunt for a new side dish. This one sounds yummy and fall-ish. Thanks Brandie.
YES oh YES! I'm a side dish kinda gal too! I love glazed carrots – this is such a simple recipe too. And homemade maple syrup can't be beat either. Thanks much for sharing.
These look so good! Carrots are one of my favorite side dishes.
My fridge just broke and I'm trying to cook all the contents! This is just perfect for our mini carrots.
I just printed out several of your recipes that I have read throughout the year- and thought they looked wonderful. Now it is my goal to make each one. I know that my family will enjoy them.
Your little boy is precious. I have 2 sons, ages 21 and 23.

Hi Samantha – thank you for the comment! So happy you liked this recipe!
So good! A new favorite side for this family!
These look great. A wonderful, delicious, quick side. Thanks for sharing them!
I always do something similar to yam and sweet potato, but never thought of baby carrots. This is a great idea. And I always bake the yam or sweet potato first then just coated them with syrup. Because I am always afraid to burn the syrup if cooking it for too long. this time, guess I will try baby carrot. 🙂
Delicious !!!!
Thanks so much Mimi!
