Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g carrots
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the carrots and slice them into evenly sized pieces, about 2-3 inches long. If the carrots are thick, halve or quarter them lengthwise to ensure even cooking.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it brown.
Stir in the honey, brown sugar, and soy sauce, allowing the mixture to melt together and combine into a smooth glaze.
Add the carrots to the pan and toss them in the glaze until evenly coated.
Season the carrots with salt and black pepper, stirring to distribute evenly.
Cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let the carrots cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but not mushy.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Allow the glaze to thicken and coat the carrots, stirring frequently to avoid burning, for about 3-5 minutes.
Transfer the sticky glazed carrots to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
