How to Make Candy Carrot Coins

  1. Peel 1 pound of carrots and slice them into 1/4-inch thick coins.
  2. Place the carrot coins in a microwave-safe bowl. Add 1/2 cup of water, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and microwave on high for 6-7 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Do not overcook!
  3. Drain the water thoroughly and set the carrots aside.
  4. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
  5. Stir in 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar and 1 tablespoon of water. Cook for 1 minute, or until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is slightly thickened.
  6. Add the drained carrot coins to the saucepan. Toss gently to coat them evenly with the glaze.
  7. Reduce heat to low and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the carrots are glazed and shiny, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!
