Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound carrots
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 stalks green onions (scallions), thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Peel the carrots and cut them into evenly sized sticks or rounds, about 1/4-inch thick.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the carrots to the pan and toss them to coat in the melted butter.
Pour the water into the pan, cover, and let the carrots steam for about 8 minutes, or until they are tender but not mushy.
Uncover the skillet and allow any remaining water to evaporate completely.
Lower the heat to medium-low, then drizzle the honey over the carrots and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Stir the carrots gently to coat them evenly with the honey glaze, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the glaze thickens slightly.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the thinly sliced green onions over the top of the carrots.
Transfer the honey-glazed carrots to a serving dish and serve warm.
