Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams baby carrots
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon, chopped
- 120 milliliters water
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Peel and trim the baby carrots if necessary. Rinse them under cold water and set aside.
In a medium-sized skillet or sauté pan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until it begins to bubble.
Add the baby carrots to the pan, stirring to coat them evenly in the butter.
Pour the water into the pan, season with salt and pepper, and cover with a lid. Let the carrots steam for 7-8 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high to evaporate the remaining water, stirring occasionally.
Once the water has evaporated, reduce the heat to medium and drizzle the honey over the carrots. Stir gently to coat them evenly.
Sprinkle the chopped tarragon over the carrots and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens and the carrots are glossy.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if desired.
Transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish and garnish with an extra sprinkle of fresh tarragon, if desired. Serve immediately.
