Step 1

Peel the carrots and cut them into evenly sized sticks or rounds, about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Once the butter has melted and started to foam, add the carrots to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly with the butter.

Step 5

Remove the lid and add the honey, ground cardamom, salt, and black pepper to the skillet.

Step 6

Increase the heat to medium-high and continue cooking for another 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the carrots are tender and lightly caramelized.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add a little more salt or cardamom to suit your preference.

Step 8

Transfer the cardamom carrots to a serving dish and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Step 9
