Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Carrots
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Brandy
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the carrots and slice them on the diagonal into 1/4-inch thick coins. Alternatively, you can cut them into thin sticks (batons) for a different presentation.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the prepared carrots to the skillet and sauté for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots start to soften slightly.
Stir in the honey, brandy, salt, and ground black pepper. Toss the carrots to coat them evenly in the glaze.
Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender and the glaze has thickened slightly.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
