Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound carrots
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the carrots and slice them into uniform rounds about 1/4-inch thick, or alternatively cut them into sticks if preferred.
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the carrots and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they are fork-tender but not mushy.
Drain the carrots and set them aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Once the butter has melted, stir in the honey, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and bubbling.
Add the cooked carrots to the skillet and toss them in the glaze, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the glaze thickens and clings to the carrots.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
