Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and peel the carrots. Slice them into evenly-sized rounds or sticks, approximately 1/4-inch thick.
Step 2
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
Step 3
Add the sliced carrots to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly in the butter.
Step 4
Add water to the skillet and cover with a lid, allowing the carrots to steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until they begin to soften.
Step 5
Remove the lid, then stir in the honey, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, salt, and black pepper.
Step 6
Continue to cook the carrots over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces to a glossy glaze and the carrots are tender but not mushy (about 10-12 minutes).
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 8
Transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy!
