Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel the carrots and slice them into thin rounds, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and starts to foam.
Add the sliced carrots to the skillet, stirring to coat them evenly with the oil and butter.
Sprinkle the salt, ground black pepper, and fresh thyme leaves over the carrots.
Continue to sauté the carrots for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still slightly crisp.
Drizzle the honey over the sautéed carrots and toss to combine, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if desired.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top before serving for a fresh burst of flavor.
