Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 120 milliliters water
Instructions
Peel and slice the carrots into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.
Peel and finely grate the fresh ginger.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the grated ginger to the butter and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the water, honey, salt, and black pepper. Mix until combined.
Add the sliced carrots to the skillet, stirring to coat them in the ginger mixture.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let the carrots simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still slightly crisp.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high to evaporate any excess liquid, tossing the carrots to glaze them evenly.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm as a side dish.
