Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 tablespoon parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the carrots and slice them diagonally into 1/4-inch thick pieces.
Grate the fresh ginger into a fine paste using a grater or microplane.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
Add the sliced carrots and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Stir in the honey, grated ginger, salt, and pepper. Mix until the carrots are well coated.
Pour the water into the skillet and cover with a lid. Let the carrots simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and the liquid has reduced to form a glaze.
Remove the lid and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to thicken the glaze further, if needed.
Transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
