How to Make Candy Carrot Coins
- Peel 1 pound of carrots and slice them into 1/4-inch thick coins.
- 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!
- Drain the water thoroughly and set the carrots aside.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
- 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.
- Add the drained carrot coins to the saucepan. Toss gently to coat them evenly with the glaze.
- Reduce heat to low and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the carrots are glazed and shiny, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
