Ingredients for Glazed Carrtos

3 cups carrots sliced
1/3 cup butter melted
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt to taste
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions

Start by adding 1 cup of water into your Instant Pot. Place your trivet in, and then make a bowl with aluminum foil or use a steamer basket.
Next, peel and slice your carrots evenly, and then place in a bowl. Toss with the melted butter, brown sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt.
Pour into the steamer basket or the aluminum foil basket and sit on top of the steamer.
Pressure cook high manual pressure for 2 minutes. Followed by a quick release of pressure.
Carefully remove carrots, trivet, and dump water. Turn the Instant Pot to saute, and return the carrots to cook.
Cook for 3-5 minutes to caramelize the carrots. Then serve warm.

Notes

You can use baby carrots if you would prefer.

Swap the brown sugar with honey if you would like a honey glazed carrot.

Add in a dash of cayenne pepper for a sweet and spicy carrt.

If you use smaller slices of carrots do either 0 or 1 minute cook. Carrots won't take long at all, and if you overcook the carrots will be mushy.

Store any leftover carrots in the fridge for 4-5 days.

Use a silicone sling for carrots or make a bowl to place carrots in if you don't own a sling.

You do not want the carrots in the water or it will make them too soft.
