Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 1 tablespoon (grated) fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 clove (minced) garlic
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Wash and peel the carrots. Slice them into evenly sized rounds about 1/4-inch thick.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the olive oil is hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, but be careful not to let it burn.
Add the sliced carrots to the skillet. Stir well to coat the carrots with the ginger-garlic mixture.
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the carrots. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the carrots cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
Pour in the honey and lemon juice. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, for another 5-7 minutes or until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove the skillet from heat and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the gingery sautéed carrots to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve warm and enjoy as a vibrant side dish.
