Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g carrots
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1.5 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 cup water
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the carrots and slice them diagonally into 1/4-inch thick rounds. If the carrots are especially thick, cut them in half lengthwise before slicing.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, add the water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced carrots to the pan and cover with a lid. Let them steam and simmer for about 8-10 minutes or until they are just tender but not mushy. Drain any excess water if necessary.
Add the butter to the skillet with the cooked carrots and allow it to melt fully over medium heat.
Stir in the honey and Dijon mustard, ensuring the carrots are evenly coated with the glaze.
Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper, tasting and adjusting the seasoning as needed.
Continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens slightly and sticks to the carrots.
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish.
Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of color and added freshness. Serve warm and enjoy!
