Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound carrots
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 tablespoon light butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and peel the carrots. Slice them into uniform rounds about 1/4-inch thick or into thin sticks, depending on your preference.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, add 1/2 cup of water and bring it to a simmer over medium heat.
Add the sliced carrots to the skillet, cover with a lid, and allow them to steam for 7-8 minutes, or until they are just tender but still retain a slight crunch.
Remove the lid and allow any remaining water to evaporate completely.
Lower the heat to medium-low and add the light butter to the skillet. Stir gently to coat the carrots.
Add the honey, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to distribute the glaze evenly over the carrots.
Cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the glaze has thickened slightly and the carrots are glossy and fully coated.
Remove from heat and transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
