Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 120 ml pineapple juice
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and cut the carrots into evenly sized sticks or rounds for even cooking.
In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add the carrots and a pinch of salt, then boil for 5-7 minutes until the carrots are fork-tender but not mushy.
Drain the carrots and set them aside.
In the same saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the honey and pineapple juice, letting it cook for 2-3 minutes until it starts to thicken slightly.
Add the cooked carrots to the saucepan and toss to coat them evenly in the glaze.
Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze adheres to the carrots and they are nicely caramelized.
Transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
