Ingredients
- 1 pound carrots
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 stalks green onions (scallions), thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup water
Directions
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 or sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the carrots to the pan and toss them to coat in the melted butter.
Step 4
Pour the water into the pan, cover, and let the carrots steam for about 8 minutes, or until they are tender but not mushy.
Step 5
Uncover the skillet and allow any remaining water to evaporate completely.
Step 6
Lower the heat to medium-low, then drizzle the honey over the carrots and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Step 7
Stir the carrots gently to coat them evenly with the honey glaze, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the glaze thickens slightly.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the thinly sliced green onions over the top of the carrots.
Step 9
Transfer the honey-glazed carrots to a serving dish and serve warm.
