Creating these amazing glazed carrots is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare Carrots: If using whole carrots, peel them and cut them into even-sized pieces. Baby carrots can be used directly.
2. Boil Carrots: Place the carrots in a pot of boiling water. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until tender but not mushy. Drain and set aside.
3. Melt Butter: In a non-stick skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
4. Add Sugar: Stir in the brown sugar, and honey (if using). Allow it to dissolve thoroughly.
5. Combine Carrots: Add the pre-cooked carrots to the skillet and toss them gently to coat in the buttery glaze.
6. Season: Sprinkle salt, pepper, and ground cinnamon (if desired) over the carrots. Mix well to ensure even seasoning.
7. Glaze Carrots: Continue to cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, allowing the glaze to thicken and coat the carrots beautifully. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
8. Garnish: Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
9. Serve Warm: Transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish and enjoy immediately for best results!

Following these steps ensures your glazed carrots will be perfect in flavor and texture.
