Ingredients

½ cup unsalted butter divided
3 pounds carrots peeled and sliced into 1/2" pieces on the diagonal (if you have especially large carrots, slice them a bit thinner)
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1.5 teaspoons cinnamon
1.5 teaspoons kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Heat a 12" skillet over medium heat. Add 6 tablespoons of the butter. Once butter melts, add carrots, and stir to coat. Place cover on skillet and cook for 25 minutes.
Remove cover and cook for 5 to 10 minutes more, stirring occasionally, until carrots are fork tender. If your carrot pieces are on the large side, you may need to cook a bit longer.
Add remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, plus honey, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Bump up the heat just a bit, to medium-high, and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes until honey mixture is syrupy and thickened. Taste test and add more salt if needed. Serve warm.
