Creating Maple & Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots is simple and rewarding if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare Carrots: If using regular carrots, peel and slice them into uniform pieces, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
2. Boil Water: In a medium pot, bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
3. Cook Carrots: Add the carrots to the boiling water and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until tender but not mushy. Drain and set aside.
4. Melt Butter: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
5. Add Syrup and Sugar: Once the butter is melted, stir in the maple syrup and brown sugar until combined.
6. Combine Carrots and Glaze: Add the drained carrots to the skillet, tossing them in the glaze until evenly coated.
7. Add Seasonings: Sprinkle with salt and cinnamon (if using) and cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the glaze to thicken slightly.

Following these steps ensures that you achieve perfectly glazed carrots that are tender and flavorful!
