3. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add brown sugar and honey; stir until slightly thickened.

4. Add carrots to the skillet and toss to coat evenly.

5. Continue cooking for 5 minutes, stirring frequently until the glaze clings.

6. Season with salt and pepper.

7. Add optional orange juice or bourbon for depth of flavor.

For an oven version, roast glazed carrots at 400°F for 20 minutes.
