Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 tablespoon parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the carrots and slice them diagonally into 1/4-inch thick pieces.
Step 2
Grate the fresh ginger into a fine paste using a grater or microplane.
Step 3
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.

Add the sliced carrots and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Step 5
Stir in the honey, grated ginger, salt, and pepper. Mix until the carrots are well coated.

Pour the water into the skillet and cover with a lid. Let the carrots simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and the liquid has reduced to form a glaze.
