    Glazed Green Beans and Carrots is a super easy and delicious way to eat green beans and carrots together. The chicken broth and butter are flavors that go perfectly with either honey or brown sugar. This is a recipe you have to try. 

    Especially if you are like we are and always looking to serve vegetables in a new way!  While these Glazed Green Beans and Carrots are definitely worth a try, if you are interested I have listed some of our other favorites below.

    For this Glazed Green Beans and Carrots I personally always use chicken broth to make it but if you are a vegan or vegetarian or only have vegetable broth in the house you can easily substitute it!  The taste will still impress you!

    I have also, on a few occasions over the years, made this recipe with only carrots or just beans even though I prefer to serve this colorful dish with both.  However, if you are only using beans make sure to reduce the cooking time at the start by 2 minutes so you don't overcook them!

    Ingredients in Glazed Green Beans and Carrots

    • green beans
    • carrots
    • broth
    • butter
    • honey or brown sugar
    • salt
    • pepper

    How to make Glazed Green Beans and Carrots

    In a large skillet or pot, bring enough salted water to cover your carrots and beans to a boil.  I usually add about 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.

    Add carrots and cook for 2 minutes.

    Add beans and cook for another 2 minutes.

    Drain in a colander in your sink and pat dry with a paper towel as best you can.

    In a large skillet add broth and butter.

    Bring to a boil and then decrease your temperature to simmer, medium to medium low.

    Add beans and carrots and continue simmering for 3 minutes uncovered to reduce the liquid.

    Stir regularly.

    Add honey or brown sugar, salt and pepper and stir for a minute or so to coat.

    Serve immediately and enjoy!

    Of course we have a video for you to check out!  Once you see how easy this dish is to make you might just want to give it a try!  I am pretty sure you will be glad you did!
