Peel the shallots and trim the ends, ensuring they remain intact for cooking.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and foaming.
Add the shallots to the skillet in a single layer and cook for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are lightly browned.
Drizzle the honey over the shallots, stirring to coat them evenly, and cook for another 2 minutes until the honey starts to caramelize.
Pour in the balsamic vinegar and water, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Stir gently to combine.
Lower the heat to a simmer, cover the skillet, and cook for 15 minutes until the shallots are tender and the sauce is thickened slightly.
Remove the lid and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing the glaze to reduce and coat the shallots thoroughly.
Transfer the glazed shallots to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh mint leaves before serving.
