  • teaspoon salt 
  • 0.3 cup chicken stock see for vegetarian option (use vegetable stock )
  • tablespoon sugar 
  • 0.3 teaspoon pepper white

Equipment

  • frying pan
  • pot

Directions

  1. Prep the carrots: Slice the carrots into 1/8 to 1/4-inch disks or diagonally. Try to cut the pieces so they are about the same size as each other, so they cook evenly.
  2. Sauté carrots in butter: Melt the butter in a sauté pan over medium-high heat, then add the carrots. Toss to combine and reduce the heat to medium.
  3. Sprinkle the salt over carrots and toss again. Sauté for 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add sugar, pepper, stock: then add the sugar and white pepper (if using) and toss to combine.
  5. Add the stock. Cover the pot and cook for another 3 minutes.
  6. Reduce liquid to a glaze: Uncover the pot and increase heat to medium-high. Toss the carrots once or twice to keep them moving, and cook away most of the liquid. Turn off the heat and taste.
  7. Add more salt and sugar to taste.
