Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound carrots
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 1.5 tablespoons honey
- 0.5 cup vegetable broth
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and cut the carrots into thin, even slices or julienne strips for faster cooking.
Peel the fresh ginger and grate it finely to yield 1 tablespoon.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the grated ginger to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring, until fragrant.
Add the sliced carrots to the pan and toss to coat them evenly with the ginger and butter mixture.
Pour the vegetable broth into the pan and sprinkle in the salt and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Cover the pan with a lid and allow the carrots to simmer over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
Remove the lid and stir in the honey, allowing the liquid to reduce slightly and glaze the carrots. This should take about 4-5 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Transfer the carrots to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve warm.
