This is my favorite carrot recipe of all time. It almost tastes like "Thanksgiving" sweet potatoes to me. I just love them. If you don't think there's enough glaze in the pan, just add double the amount of the butter and brown sugar, and add a little more of the cinnamon and nutmeg. Just a dash or so. I hope you enjoy this!

How To Make glazed carrot pennies

Step 1

Peel and trim carrots. Cut carrots crosswise into slices one quarter inch thick (so they look like pennies).

Step 2

Place carrot slices in a medium-sized saucepan. Add about one inch of water to saucepan. Set saucepan over high heat and bring water to a boil. Reduce heat.
Step 3

Cover saucepan and gently simmer carrots until they are just tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 4

Drain carrots in a colander. Return carrots to saucepan.
Step 5

Add butter, sugar, salt and spices to carrots in saucepan.
Step 6

Set saucepan over medium heat and cook mixture, stirring constantly, until butter and sugar are melted and form a glaze on carrots, about 4 minutes. Serve immediately.
