Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound carrots
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 3 tablespoons orange juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the carrots and slice them into evenly sized rounds or sticks (about 1/4 inch thick for rounds or 3 inches long for sticks).
Grate the fresh ginger using a fine grater or microplane and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the sliced carrots to the skillet and stir to coat them evenly in the butter.
Cook the carrots for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
Stir in the honey, freshly grated ginger, orange juice, salt, and pepper.
Continue cooking the carrots for another 5-6 minutes, stirring regularly, until they are tender and the glaze has thickened slightly to coat the carrots.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper as desired.
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish.
Optionally, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for garnish before serving.
