Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 cups water
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and slice the carrots into evenly sized pieces, approximately 1/4-inch thick.
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the sliced carrots to the skillet and stir to coat them evenly with the butter.
Pour the water into the skillet and cover it with a lid. Allow the carrots to steam for 8-10 minutes or until they are fork-tender.
Remove the lid and add the honey, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and allow the liquid to reduce slightly, creating a light glaze over the carrots, about 3-5 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your Simple Carrots!
