Drain the water and carrots into a collander.
Add the ranch seasoning packet, brown sugar and butter to the saucepan.
Stir until the butter is melted and everything is combined.
Add the cooked carrots back to the saucepan and combine together with the butter, seasoning mixture.
Serve immediately.

Notes

Prep & Ingredient Tips

Cut the carrots into evenly sized slices so they cook at the same rate.
Check the carrots early to avoid overcooking and keep them from becoming mushy.
Use melted butter for the smoothest coating when mixing in the ranch seasoning.

Storage & Make Ahead

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave until warmed through.
You can boil the carrots a day ahead; wait to add the butter and seasoning until right before serving.
