Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g carrots
- 15 g fresh ginger root
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp honey
- 100 ml water
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and peel the carrots. Slice them into evenly sized rounds, about 1/4 inch thick, to ensure even cooking.
Peel and finely grate the fresh ginger root.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the grated ginger to the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant, but not browned.
Add the sliced carrots to the pan and stir to coat them in the ginger and oil mixture.
Pour in the water and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Cover the pan with a lid and let the carrots cook for approximately 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and the water has mostly evaporated.
Stir in the honey and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the carrots to glaze slightly.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Transfer the carrots to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, before serving.
