Brandy Glazed Carrots

With so many things happening during the holidays, it’s great to have easy recipes such as these brandy and honey glazed carrots that are fuss-free and a perfect side dish. They’re cooked all in one skillet and you end up with tender, sweet glazed carrots every single time.

What I love most about these carrots is how elegant they look, colorful, shiny and scrumptious. Although these are the perfect side dish for your holiday dinner, I would literally make these any time of the year for any occasion.

Ingredients Notes

  • Carrots – I love using baby carrots, but you can totally use regular carrots sliced on the bias about 1/4 inch in thickness.
  • Butter – butter does make everything better and I really wouldn’t skip it.
  • Honey – use your favorite honey.
  • Brandy – this is the star ingredients, but for an alcohol free version add some garlic instead and make honey garlic carrots.
  • Salt and pepper – use as much or as little as you like.

How To Make Brandy Glazed Carrots

Cook carrots: In a large skillet, bring 1/2 inch of water to a boil. Add carrots, cover and cook until carrots are crisp-tender. Drain and set aside.

Make the glaze: In the same skillet, cook butter and honey over medium heat until butter is melted. Stir in the brandy and bring to a boil. Cook until the liquid is reduced to about 1/2 cup.

Add carrots and finish dish: Add the carrots, parsley and season with salt and pepper. Heath through and serve.

How To Serve These Brandy Glazed Carrots

These carrots are great as a side to lots of dishes. Here are some suggestions:

  • Crockpot Honey Mustard Glazed Ham
  • Herb Crusted Rack of Lamb
  • Brined Roast Turkey Breast
  • Turkey Roast
  • Prime Rib Roast

How To Store Leftover Glazed Carrots

Store any leftover glazed carrots in an airtight container and refrigerate for 3 to 5 days.

    I don’t usually find myself gushing over a recipe. This one is amazing. My husband, who is not a carrot lover, went nuts over these. The flavors of the butter, brandy and honey are so warm and comforting. We are going to be having a lot more carrots in our future. My husband was even wondering if we could try sweet potatoes with this glaze. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. It is the only way we will make carrots from now on.

    Did somebody say brandy? This is perfect, Jo. Simple, beautiful and obviously delicious. Definitely something I want to make. And, I still don’t have a cast iron skillet, but it’s on my wish list!

    These look fantastic! I grew up with a similar recipe which Mum would serve at Easter and Christmas – she just skipped the brandy. I’ll have to try it with the brandy this Thanksgiving.
