Peel the carrots and trim the ends. Cut them into uniform slices, about 1/4 inch thick, at an angle for a decorative touch.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the carrots and stir to coat them in the butter. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, to slightly caramelize the edges.
Add the water, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the skillet. Cook until the carrots are tender, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the carrots are tender and the liquid has reduced to a glaze consistency, remove the skillet from the heat.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if necessary.
Transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
