Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1.5 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 cup water
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the carrots and cut them into diagonals or bite-sized pieces of even thickness to ensure even cooking.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, combine the carrots, water, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and partially cover the skillet with a lid. Allow the carrots to simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until they are fork-tender and most of the water has evaporated. If there is still excess water, remove the lid and let it cook off.
Reduce the heat to low and add the unsalted butter to the pan. Stir until melted and coating the carrots.
Add the Dijon mustard, honey, and black pepper. Toss the carrots gently to evenly coat them in the glaze.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the carrots are glossy and well-coated with the mustard glaze.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper as desired.
Transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if using. Serve warm.
