Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 50 grams sliced almonds
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Peel the carrots and cut them into thin slices on a slight diagonal to create uniform pieces.
Finely mince the garlic and chop the parsley for later use.
In a dry skillet over medium heat, add the sliced almonds. Toast for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden and fragrant. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the garlic to the butter and oil mixture, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Toss in the sliced carrots, sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and stir well to coat the carrots evenly in the butter mixture.
Cook the carrots over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still slightly crisp.
Drizzle the honey over the carrots during the last minute of cooking and mix to distribute evenly.
Remove the skillet from the heat and toss in the toasted almonds and chopped parsley.
Transfer the sautéed carrots to a serving dish and serve warm with your favorite main dish.
