Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g carrots
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 cloves garlic
- 3 tbsp orange juice
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
Wash and peel the carrots, then slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds or sticks, based on your preference.
Mince the garlic and finely chop the fresh parsley. Set these aside for later use.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until it begins to slightly bubble.
Add the sliced carrots to the skillet and stir to coat them evenly with the melted butter.
Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the carrots. Stir well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Let the carrots sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften but still retain some crunch.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 additional minute, stirring frequently to prevent it from burning.
Pour in the honey and orange juice, stirring until the carrots are coated in the glaze. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 3-5 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and the glaze has slightly thickened.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the carrots for a fresh touch.
Serve immediately as a side dish and enjoy!
