Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch lengths, halved or quartered if thick

1 tablespoon butter

1 tablespoon light-brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary

Coarse salt and ground pepper

Preparation

In a large skillet, place carrots, butter, sugar, rosemary, and 1 1/4 cups water; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer, and cook until carrots are tender, 10 to 12 minutes. (If water evaporates before carrots are tender, add 1/4 cup more.)

Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until liquid is reduced to a glaze, 1 to 2 minutes more.
