Glazed Ranch Carrots

Glazed Ranch Carrots – the perfect side dish for any dinner! Baby carrots tossed in a delicious buttery ranch glaze.

These Glazed Ranch Carrots are my current favorite dinner side dish. It’s bordering on obsession. 

It’s one of those things I make “for the kids” and then I grab one each time I walk past the stove. The buttery ranch glaze is just so delicious and perfect with the slight sweetness of the carrots. 

It’s also a really easy side dish and takes only a few simple ingredients!

Ingredients

• Baby carrots – you can use large carrots as well, just peel and slice them before cooking
• Butter
• Brown Sugar
• Dry ranch dressing mix

Instructions

• Boil baby carrots until fork tender, about 8 – 10 minutes; drain and set aside
• Melt butter and brown sugar together
• Whisk in dry ranch dressing mix
• Add carrots and toss to coat
• Cook until sauce thickens and glazes the carrots, about 5 more minutes

How Long Are Cooked Carrots Good For?

These Glazed Ranch Carrots will be good in the fridge for about 3 days. Make sure to store them in an airtight container. 

Because the glaze is made up of a good bit of butter, it will become thicker as it sits in the fridge. It should thin out fine once heated. You can reheat the carrots on the stove over low heat or in the microwave.
