Ingredients

• 500 grams carrots
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and slice the carrots into evenly sized rounds, about 1/4 inch thick. If the carrots are small, you can leave them whole or cut them in half lengthwise.

Step 2

In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the sliced carrots to the pan and stir to coat them evenly with the butter.

Step 4

Cover the pan with a lid and let the carrots cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still slightly firm.

Step 5

Remove the lid and stir in the honey, salt, and ground black pepper. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the carrots are fully cooked and glazed with the honey-butter mixture.

Step 6

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add more salt or pepper to suit your preference.

Step 7

Transfer the honey-glazed carrots to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 8

Serve warm and enjoy your simple, flavorful side dish!
