How to Make Balsamic Vinegar And Butter Glazed Carrots

  2. Add 1 pound of carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch thick pieces, and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add 1/4 cup of water, cover, and cook until carrots are crisp-tender, stirring occasionally, about 7 minutes.
  4. Stir in 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar.
  5. Cook uncovered, stirring frequently, until carrots are tender and glazed, about 12-15 minutes. The sauce should thicken slightly.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
