Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound carrots
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.25 cup apple cider
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and trim the carrots. If they are thick, cut them into halves or quarters lengthwise to ensure even cooking.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the carrots to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften slightly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, apple cider, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Pour the honey apple mixture over the carrots in the skillet. Stir to coat the carrots evenly.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the skillet. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender and the glaze has thickened.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish.
Optional: Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving for a pop of color and added freshness.
