Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Carrots
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Orange juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, chopped for garnish)
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
Peel the carrots and slice them into evenly sized sticks or rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.
In a medium-sized skillet or sauté pan, combine the carrots and water. Cover the pan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
Cook the carrots for 7-8 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Drain any excess water from the pan.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter to the pan. Allow it to melt and coat the carrots.
Stir in the honey, orange juice, salt, and black pepper, ensuring the carrots are evenly coated in the glaze.
Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens and clings to the carrots.
Remove the pan from heat and sprinkle the carrots with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
Transfer the honeyed carrots to a serving dish and serve warm.
