Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound carrots
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the carrots and slice them into evenly sized rounds, about 1/4-inch thick.
In a large skillet, add 1 cup of water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced carrots to the skillet, cover with a lid, and reduce the heat to medium. Let the carrots simmer for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are tender but not mushy. Drain the water from the skillet and set the carrots aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Stir in the honey, grated fresh ginger, orange juice, salt, and black pepper. Cook the mixture for 1-2 minutes, stirring continuously, until the ingredients are well combined and the glaze starts to thicken slightly.
Return the cooked carrots to the skillet and toss them gently in the glaze until they are well coated.
Cook the glazed carrots for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, to ensure the flavors meld together.
Transfer the ginger glazed carrots to a serving dish and garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm.
