Instructions
Combine Ingredients:
In a 10-inch skillet over medium heat, add baby carrots, water, butter, brown sugar, and honey.
Cook Covered:
Cover and cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.

Season and Serve:
Stir in black pepper if using. Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot.

Dry carrots thoroughly before adding to pan for better glaze coating.
Adjust sweetness by reducing honey or brown sugar to taste.
