Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 100 grams walnuts
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 cup water
Instructions
Peel the carrots and slice them into uniform rounds or sticks, approximately 1/4-inch thick.
In a large skillet, add the cup of water and bring it to a simmer.
Add the sliced carrots to the skillet, cover with a lid, and steam them for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are just tender but not mushy. Drain any remaining water from the skillet.
While the carrots are cooking, toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Remove from heat and set aside.
Return the skillet with the carrots to medium heat and add the butter. Let the butter melt and coat the carrots evenly.
Drizzle the honey over the carrots and stir gently to combine. Season with salt and black pepper.
Add the toasted walnuts to the skillet and toss lightly to distribute them evenly throughout the dish.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the honey glaze thickens slightly and coats the carrots and walnuts.
Transfer the walnut carrots to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
