Making Candied Carrots is straightforward if you follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Carrots: Rinse the baby carrots thoroughly and trim the ends if necessary.
2. Melt Butter: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
3. Add Ingredients: Stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, ginger, and water. Mix well until combined.
4. Combine Carrots: Add the baby carrots to the skillet, ensuring they are well coated in the sugary mixture.
5. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet. Allow the carrots to simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. Check Doneness: The carrots should be tender when pierced with a fork but not mushy. Remove the lid during the last 5 minutes to thicken the sauce if desired.
7. Taste and Adjust: Taste the glazed mixture; add more brown sugar or spices if necessary.
8. Serve Warm: Transfer the candied carrots to a serving dish. If using, garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
