- 1 tbsp honey
- 100 ml water
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and peel the carrots. Slice them into evenly sized rounds, about 1/4 inch thick, to ensure even cooking.
Step 2
Peel and finely grate the fresh ginger root.
Step 3
In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the grated ginger to the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant, but not browned.
Step 5
Add the sliced carrots to the pan and stir to coat them in the ginger and oil mixture.
Step 6
Pour in the water and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Step 7
Cover the pan with a lid and let the carrots cook for approximately 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and the water has mostly evaporated.
Step 8
Stir in the honey and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the carrots to glaze slightly.
Step 9
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Step 10
Transfer the carrots to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, before serving.
