The best ever simple carrot side dish - a Tasty Thursday video

My channel is weekly food videos and occasional fitness videos. I'm all about inspiring you to the small things that make you feel like a badass - confident, capable, and striding through the world as if you belong in it.

MUSTARD CARROTS: (this recipe feeds 4 people. Scale up for the Thanksgiving crowd!)
1 lb of carrots
1 TBS butter
1 TBS brown sugar
1-2 TBS yellow mustard

1) Peel carrots and cut into sticks or fingers
2) Cook in boiling water (or steam, or microwave, I suppose) until al dente (or to your desired doneness!). Drain.
3) In the same pot, add 1 TBS butter and melt. Stir in sugar and mustard. Add carrots. Stir to coat.

This will not be a pooling amount of "sauce" but rather a glaze on the carrots. Enjoy!

Wow! So glad to have tried this. I made my wife a dinner and decided to try this. However, I had asperagus ready to go as a back up since this seemed to simple and, brown suger, butter, and mustard and done? Happy to report, the asperagus will be used another day and both the wife and 19 year old son loved it. Thank you for sharing Nica!

Just found your video this evening and tried it immediately. My carrots were very thick, so I sliced them crosswise into disks, steamed them, and then glazed them with butter, turbinado sugar (have run out of brown sugar) and mustard. They were just as yummy as you said they would be! I think they will make their first appearance at a family gathering for Easter. Thank you, Nica, for such an easy, tasty recipe.

I have carrots here and don't know what to do with those so I came accross youtube and found your video. Thanks for sharing!

[tecguy]

I tried this with already sliced and smaller carrot, same amount of suggested things for the coat and it worked perfectly. I will try it with the same carrot that appear on the video for next time. Thank you and delicious!
