Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and peel the carrots. Cut them into even-sized pieces, about 1/4-inch thick rounds or slices at an angle for a more elegant presentation.
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the carrots to the skillet and stir to coat them evenly with the melted butter.
Sprinkle in the salt and ground black pepper, stirring to combine.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let the carrots cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still slightly firm to the bite.
Reduce the heat to low and drizzle the honey over the carrots. Stir well to evenly coat the carrots in the sweet butter glaze.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes, letting the honey caramelize slightly and create a glossy glaze.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the sweet butter carrots to a serving dish.
If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and a fresh herbal note.
Serve warm and enjoy your Sweet Butter Carrots as a delightful side dish!
