Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and slice the carrots into evenly sized rounds, about 1/4 inch thick. If the carrots are small, you can leave them whole or cut them in half lengthwise.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the sliced carrots to the pan and stir to coat them evenly with the butter.
Cover the pan with a lid and let the carrots cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still slightly firm.
Remove the lid and stir in the honey, salt, and ground black pepper. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the carrots are fully cooked and glazed with the honey-butter mixture.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add more salt or pepper to suit your preference.
Transfer the honey-glazed carrots to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your simple, flavorful side dish!
