Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1.5 lb carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch thick coins or diagonal slices
  • 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoon honey
  • 0.3 cup water or vegetable broth
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.3 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the carrots: Wash, peel, and cut the carrots into uniform 1/2-inch thick coins or diagonal slices. This ensures even cooking.

  2. 2

    Melt the butter: In a large skillet or frying pan with a lid, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

  3. 3

    Sauté carrots: Add the prepared carrots to the skillet. Sauté for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to brighten in color and soften slightly.

  4. 4

    Simmer: Pour in the water or vegetable broth, add the salt and freshly ground black pepper. Stir to combine. Bring the liquid to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook for 8-12 minutes, or until the carrots are tender-crisp (cooked through but still slightly firm).

  5. 5

    Glaze the carrots: Remove the lid from the skillet and increase the heat to medium-high. Stir in the honey. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, for 3-5 minutes, allowing the liquid to reduce and thicken into a glossy glaze that coats the carrots.

  6. 6

    Serve: Remove the skillet from the heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Transfer the Honey Glazed Carrots to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

  • 💡Ensure your carrots are cut uniformly to guarantee even cooking. Thicker pieces will take longer to become tender.
  • 💡Do not overcook the carrots in the simmering stage; they should still have a slight bite (tender-crisp) before adding the honey, as they will continue to cook slightly during the glazing process.
  • 💡For a richer flavor, you can substitute a high-quality chicken broth for the vegetable broth or water.
  • 💡Adjust the amount of honey to your preference for sweetness. A little extra can make them more decadent.
  • 💡If you prefer a hint of spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the salt and pepper.
