How to Make Healthy Brown Sugar Mustard Glazed Carrots

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and peel 1 pound of carrots. Cut into 1-inch pieces.
  3. Steam carrots until tender-crisp (about 8-10 minutes).
  4. While carrots steam, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, and 2 tablespoons water. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the glaze slightly thickens (about 2-3 minutes).
  5. Drain the steamed carrots and transfer to a bowl.
  6. Lightly coat carrots with cooking spray or 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
  7. Pour the brown sugar mustard glaze over the carrots and toss gently to coat evenly.
  8. Spread carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the carrots are glazed and slightly caramelized.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!
