Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb carrots
- 2 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp Tennessee honey
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 0.5 tsp cinnamon
- 0.25 tsp ground nutmeg
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 cup water
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the carrots and cut them into uniform slices about 1/4-inch thick. Alternatively, leave baby carrots whole if using them.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the sliced carrots to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly in the butter.
Pour in the water and cover the skillet with a lid. Allow the carrots to cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still slightly firm.
Remove the lid and reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir in the Tennessee honey, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper.
Cook the carrots uncovered for an additional 5-8 minutes, stirring frequently, until the glaze thickens and coats the carrots evenly.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Remove from heat.
Transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
