As much as I love to eat veggies in their natural form, sometimes you want to spice things up. There’s always more than one way to cook something and veggies aren’t an exception.

I had leftover carrots from when I made roasted veggies, so I figured why not try them another way.

And the thing about this recipe is that is just so simple to make!!

Let’s get started, shall we?

Servings: 2-4

Ingredients:

1/2 cup (4 tablespoons) butter

1 pounds carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces

1/2 cup whiskey, such as Uncle Nearest

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

Salt and pepper, optional.

Directions:

Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet (with a lid) over high heat. Add half the carrots and stir them around to brown them quickly, about 1 minute. Remove to a plate and repeat with the remaining carrots.
Pour the whiskey into the skillet, taking care if you’re cooking over an open flame. Let the whiskey bubble up and cook until slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low, add the other 2 tablespoons of butter and stir it around until it’s melted. Stir in the brown sugar and some salt and pepper.
Reduce the heat to low, place the lid on the skillet and cook for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and cook for another 5 minutes.
