Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound carrots
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1.5 tablespoons prepared horseradish
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and peel the carrots. Trim the ends and cut them into uniform sticks or slices (about 2-3 inches long).
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the carrots and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until just tender. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the honey, prepared horseradish, and lemon juice. Mix until smooth and combined.
Add the cooked carrots to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly in the glaze. Let the carrots cook in the glaze for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are warmed through and glossy.
Season the carrots with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
Transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
