Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams baby carrots
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the baby carrots under cold water and pat dry with a kitchen towel.
In a large saucepan or deep skillet, bring water to a boil and add a pinch of salt.
Add the baby carrots to the boiling water and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until they are slightly tender but firm enough to hold their shape.
Drain the carrots and set them aside.
In the same pan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Stir in the honey and brown sugar, and let the mixture cook for about 1-2 minutes until it begins to bubble and thicken slightly.
Add the cooked baby carrots to the pan, tossing them gently to coat evenly in the glaze.
Sprinkle the salt and ground black pepper over the carrots, stirring to combine.
Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are glossy and fully coated in the glaze.
Transfer the honey glazed baby carrots to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
