Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium carrots
- 2 medium turnips
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 0.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel the carrots and turnips. Slice the carrots into 1/4-inch thick rounds and cut the turnips into 1/2-inch cubes.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the carrots and turnips to the skillet and stir to coat them with the butter. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.
Stir in the honey, brown sugar, chicken broth, salt, and ground black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the carrots and turnips are tender when pierced with a fork. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and glazes the vegetables.
Transfer the glazed carrots and turnips to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
