Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cardamom
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the carrots and cut them into evenly sized sticks or rounds, about 1/4-inch thick.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Once the butter has melted and started to foam, add the carrots to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly with the butter.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook the carrots for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
Remove the lid and add the honey, ground cardamom, salt, and black pepper to the skillet.
Increase the heat to medium-high and continue cooking for another 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the carrots are tender and lightly caramelized.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add a little more salt or cardamom to suit your preference.
Transfer the cardamom carrots to a serving dish and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
