Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium (approximately 500g) Carrots
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon, finely chopped Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and peel the carrots. Using a sharp knife or a julienne peeler, cut the carrots into thin, matchstick-sized strips (approximately 1/8 inch wide and 2-3 inches long). Set aside.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the julienned carrots to the skillet and toss to coat them in the melted butter.
Cook the carrots for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften but still retain a slight crunch.
Lower the heat to medium-low and drizzle the honey over the carrots. Stir well to evenly coat the carrots in the honey glaze.
Add the fresh lemon juice, salt, and ground black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and allow the glaze to thicken slightly, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish.
Optional: Sprinkle the finished dish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
Serve warm and enjoy your Julienne of Carrots in Honey Glaze as a delightful side dish!
