Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Peel the carrots and slice them diagonally into 1/4-inch thick pieces.
Peel the fresh ginger and finely grate it using a microplane or a fine grater.
Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter, allowing the butter to melt completely.
Add the grated ginger to the pan and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the sliced carrots to the pan. Stir to coat the carrots evenly with the ginger mixture.
Season the carrots with salt and black pepper, then sauté them for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still slightly crisp.
Add the honey, lemon juice, chopped parsley, and thyme leaves to the carrots. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2 minutes to enhance the flavor.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish for roasted meats, grilled fish, or your favorite main course.
