Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 250 grams red or black seedless grapes
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the carrots and slice them into even-sized sticks or rounds, about 2 inches long and 1/4-inch thick.
Wash and pat dry the grapes. Remove any stems.
In a large sauté pan or skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the honey and brown sugar to the melted butter and stir until fully combined and the sugar is dissolved, about 1 minute.
Add the carrots to the skillet and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat the carrots in the glaze.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet with a lid, and let the carrots cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
Uncover the skillet, add the grapes, and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the grapes are warmed through and the carrots are tender but not mushy. The glaze should thicken slightly during this time.
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the glazed carrots and grapes to a serving dish.
Optional: Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top for garnish before serving.
Serve warm as a sweet and savory side dish. Enjoy!
