Glazed Carrots

I had plans with a friend this evening, so I needed a super quick side to throw together. This worked out wonderfully. A touch of cinnamon, thyme, or dried cranberries would be an excellent addition also. I did this in the microwave, while I washed off my post gym sweat, but the carrots could be stir fried, boiled, roasted, or steamed depending on your preference.
