Ingredients

• 1 lb carrots
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp lemon zest
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the carrots. If the carrots are thick, slice them in half lengthwise. Otherwise, cut them into uniform 2-inch pieces for even cooking.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the carrots to the skillet, stirring to coat them evenly with the melted butter. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots begin to soften.

Step 4

Drizzle the honey over the carrots, then add the lemon juice and zest. Stir to combine all the ingredients evenly.

Step 5

Season the carrots with salt and black pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the skillet.

Step 6

Continue cooking for another 7-9 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and glazed with the lemon-honey mixture.

Step 7

Remove from heat and transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm.
