Ingredients
- 500 g carrots
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the carrots and slice them into evenly sized pieces, about 2-3 inches long. If the carrots are thick, halve or quarter them lengthwise to ensure even cooking.
Step 2
In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it brown.
Step 4
Stir in the honey, brown sugar, and soy sauce, allowing the mixture to melt together and combine into a smooth glaze.
Step 5
Add the carrots to the pan and toss them in the glaze until evenly coated.
Step 6
Season the carrots with salt and black pepper, stirring to distribute evenly.
Step 7
Cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let the carrots cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but not mushy.
Step 8
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Allow the glaze to thicken and coat the carrots, stirring frequently to avoid burning, for about 3-5 minutes.
Step 9
Transfer the sticky glazed carrots to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
