I just love serving these Brown Sugar Baked Carrots on my table. They are an easy and delicious side dish to any meal! For years, they were a staple on our Easter dinner table, then Thanksgiving. Finally, I thought why do I limit this recipe just holidays!?
My favorite way to make these carrots is when I can get the carrots fresh at a local farmer’s market. However, we always have carrots in the fridge, thanks to Amazon fresh.
Brown Sugar Baked Carrots
Although I am serving them in a cast iron pan, a sheet pan is just fine! I lay the carrots over a piece of parchment paper and then toss them in the cinnamon, brown sugar and butter. The butter and sugar caramelize the carrots and boy is it delicious!
I assure you, this is the perfect vegetable side dish for your kids who despise veggies!
