Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the carrots and slice them diagonally into 1/4-inch thick rounds. For larger carrots, slice them in half lengthwise before cutting into rounds.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the sliced carrots and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they are just tender but still have some bite. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Stir in the maple syrup and Dijon mustard, and mix until well combined.
Add the cooked carrots to the skillet, tossing to coat them evenly with the maple mustard glaze. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens slightly and clings to the carrots.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Transfer the carrots to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
