Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Maple-Glazed Baby Carrots.
Step 1
Begin by placing fresh baby carrots in a pot and covering them with salted water.
Step 2
Heat the pot over high heat until the water reaches a vigorous boil.
Step 3
Once boiling, lower the heat to medium-low and allow the carrots to simmer gently until they become tender, which should take about 15 to 20 minutes.

After they are cooked to perfection, drain the carrots and transfer them to a serving bowl, ready to shine.
Step 5
In a separate saucepan, melt creamy butter over medium-low heat, letting its rich aroma fill the kitchen.
Step 6
Once the butter is fully melted, stir in sweet maple syrup and let it warm for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, creating a delightful glaze.
Step 7
Drizzle this luscious maple butter mixture over the tender carrots, tossing them gently to ensure they are beautifully coated.
Step 8
Finally, season with a sprinkle of salt and a dash of ground black pepper to elevate the flavors before serving.
