Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 120 milliliters water
Directions
Step 1
Peel and slice the carrots into thin rounds, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Step 2
Peel the fresh ginger and finely grate it using a microplane or fine grater.
Step 3
In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the grated ginger to the melted butter and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 5
Stir in the sliced carrots, ensuring they are coated well with the butter and ginger.
Step 6
Pour in the water, cover the pan with a lid, and let the carrots steam for 6-8 minutes or until they are tender but still have a slight bite.
Step 7
Remove the lid and stir in the honey, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Cook uncovered for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the liquid to slightly reduce.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 9
Transfer the ginger carrots to a serving dish and garnish with a sprinkle of extra lemon zest, if desired.
Step 10
Serve warm as a side dish with your favorite main course.
