Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 100 ml water
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Peel the carrots and cut them into evenly sized matchsticks or slices, about 1/4 inch thick.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the carrots to the skillet and sauté them for 5 minutes until they start to soften.
Sprinkle the sugar over the carrots, then add the honey and stir to coat evenly.
Pour in the water and white vinegar, and season with salt and black pepper. Stir well.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the carrots simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until they are tender but not mushy. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the carrots are tender, remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the liquid reduces to a glossy glaze.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then remove from heat.
Transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
