Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 2 medium carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Peel the carrots and slice them into thin rounds. Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Set aside.
Mince the garlic into small pieces.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the broccoli florets and carrot slices to the skillet. Stir to coat them in the oil and garlic.
Pour 2 tablespoons of water into the skillet and cover with a lid. Steam the vegetables for 4-5 minutes, until they are tender but still crisp.
In a small bowl, mix together the honey, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper.
Remove the lid from the skillet and pour the honey mixture over the vegetables. Stir well to evenly coat them.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until the vegetables are caramelized and slightly glazed.
Remove from heat, transfer to a serving dish, and enjoy your Honey Sauteed Broccoli and Carrots!
