Creating glazed carrots can be uncomplicated when you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare Carrots: Begin by peeling and slicing the carrots into uniform pieces for even cooking.
2. Melt Butter: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until it bubbles.
3. Add Sugar and Honey: Stir in the brown sugar and honey, mixing until dissolved.
4. Combine Ingredients: Add the sliced carrots to the skillet, followed by salt and cinnamon, if using.
5. Add Water: Pour in the water to help steam the carrots for even cooking.
6. Simmer: Cover the skillet with a lid and let the mixture simmer for about 10-15 minutes or until the carrots are tender.
7. Glaze the Carrots: Remove the lid, and continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the liquid has reduced and coated the carrots.
8. Garnish: Once the glaze is thick and sticky, remove from heat. If desired, garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color.
9. Serve: Transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish and serve warm.
