Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb carrots
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 tbsp honey
- 0.5 tsp ground cardamom
- 0.25 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.5 cup water
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and trim the carrots. If the carrots are large, cut them into evenly sized sticks or rounds to ensure even cooking.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Once the butter is melted, add the carrots to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften slightly.
Pour in the water, cover the skillet with a lid, and let the carrots steam for 8-10 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Check occasionally and add a splash of water if the skillet becomes too dry.
Once the carrots are tender and the water has mostly evaporated, reduce the heat to medium-low.
Add the honey, ground cardamom, ground cinnamon, and salt to the skillet. Stir well to ensure the carrots are evenly coated in the glaze.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the glaze thickens slightly and clings to the carrots.
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
