  2. Heat the butter in a skillet over low heat. Stir in the carrots, brown sugar, honey, and mint. Continue to cook and stir until the sugar is dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes.

Recipe Note

The sweet, minty sauce makes these carrots just a bit different. Even my husband, who says he doesn't like carrots, came back for seconds!
