Ingredients

Dry the carrots: Drain the carrots thoroughly then lay them on a paper towel and gently pat them dry lightly. Let them sit to air dry while you make the glaze. Letting them dry a bit will help the glaze adhere to the carrot slices.
Make the glaze: In a large heavy-bottomed skillet, add the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the brown sugar, honey, and ground cinnamon. Stir together and continue to heat on medium until it bubbles. Once simmering, reduce the heat to medium-low so the glaze simmers gently, not rapidly. Stir continuously until the glaze is slightly thickened and glossy, about 5 minutes.
Glaze the carrots: Once the glaze has thickened, add the carrots and gently toss them in the glaze until all slices are well-coated.
Serve: After coating all of the carrots in the glaze, sprinkle them with salt to taste and serve warm with parsley garnish for a touch of color.
