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!

How to make Glazed Green Beans and Carrots

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.
