Peel and slice the carrots into evenly sized sticks or rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until it begins to foam.
Add the curry powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the butter. Stir for 30 seconds to bloom the spices and enhance their flavors.
Stir in the honey and water until the mixture forms a smooth glaze.
Add the sliced carrots to the skillet and toss until they are evenly coated in the curry glaze.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender but still slightly firm.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the glaze thickens and clings to the carrots.
Transfer the curry-glazed carrots to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
