Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 125 ml water
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
Instructions
Peel the carrots and slice them into uniform sticks or rounds about 1/2-inch thick.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Once the butter has melted, stir in the honey, ground cinnamon, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Add the carrots to the pan and toss them to coat evenly with the spiced butter mixture.
Pour in the water, cover the pan with a lid, and bring it to a simmer.
Cook the carrots, covered, for about 10-12 minutes until they start to become tender, stirring occasionally.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Let the remaining liquid reduce into a glaze while you stir occasionally to ensure the carrots are evenly coated.
Once the carrots are tender and fully glazed (about 5-7 minutes), remove the pan from heat.
Sprinkle the fresh dill over the glazed carrots and toss gently to combine.
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
