Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1.5 tablespoons honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 60 milliliters water
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Peel the carrots and cut them into equal-sized sticks or rounds, about 1/4-inch thick, for even cooking.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the carrots to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.
Sprinkle the cumin over the carrots and toss well to coat them evenly with the spice.
Add the honey, salt, and black pepper to the skillet, stirring to combine with the carrots.
Pour in the water and cover the skillet with a lid. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the carrots cook for 7-10 minutes, until they are tender and the water has mostly evaporated.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium. Toss the carrots occasionally as the remaining liquid reduces to a sticky glaze, coating the carrots.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish.
Optional: Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a bright, fresh garnish before serving.
