Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams baby carrots
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 125 milliliters water
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the baby carrots under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, combine the water and baby carrots. Place the skillet over medium-high heat and bring the water to a simmer. Cover the skillet with a lid and steam the carrots for 8-10 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Once the carrots are tender, carefully drain any remaining water from the skillet and return it to the stove over medium heat.
Add the butter to the skillet and allow it to melt completely. Stir the carrots to coat them in the melted butter.
Add the honey, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt to the skillet. Stir well to evenly coat the carrots in the honey glaze.
Continue to cook the carrots, stirring occasionally, for 3-5 minutes, or until the glaze thickens and clings to the carrots.
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the glazed baby carrots to a serving dish.
Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy your Easy Honey Glazed Baby Carrots!
