Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb carrots
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup water
Instructions
Peel the carrots and slice them diagonally into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
In a large skillet, add the water and bring it to a simmer over medium heat.
Add the carrots to the skillet, cover, and cook for 7-9 minutes until they are tender but still slightly firm. Drain any excess water if needed.
Reduce the heat to low and add the butter, honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper to the skillet.
Stir the mixture gently to coat the carrots evenly. Allow the glaze to simmer for 2-3 minutes, until it thickens slightly and coats the carrots beautifully.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the fresh chopped dill over the carrots.
Toss gently to combine and serve warm. Enjoy!
