1. Prepare Carrots: Peel and cut the carrots into uniform pieces. This ensures even cooking.
2. Melt Butter: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
3. Add Sugar and Water: Stir in the brown sugar, water, and salt. Mix until the sugar is dissolved.
4. Cook Carrots: Add the carrots to the skillet. Stir to coat them in the butter mixture.
5. Simmer: Cover the skillet and let the carrots simmer for about 15 minutes or until they are tender. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
6. Add Cinnamon: If desired, sprinkle in the ground cinnamon during the last few minutes of cooking for added flavor.
