3. Boil: Place the skillet over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

6. Season: Once the carrots are tender and coated with the glaze, season them with salt and black pepper according to your taste preferences.

7. Garnish: Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the glazed carrots for a fresh, vibrant finish.
