Preparation
  1. Peel (or don't) and slice the carrots into your desired shape.
  2. In a big skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat.
Cooking
  1. Once the butter is bubbly, stir in the brown sugar and honey.
  2. Add the carrots to the skillet and cover.
  3. Cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are soft but not mushy.
  4. Remove the lid, increase the heat for a minute or two to caramelize the edges.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

For extra glossy and sticky carrots, cook them a bit longer, being careful not to burn them. If using larger carrots, slice them thin for faster cooking. If you have leftovers, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days.
