Ingredients
- 1 lb carrots
- 0.5 cup water
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp light brown sugar
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the carrots and slice them on a diagonal into 1/4-inch thick rounds. For larger carrots, cut them in half lengthwise before slicing.
Step 2
In a large skillet or sauté pan, add the carrots and water. Cover the pan with a lid and bring the water to a simmer over medium heat.
Step 3
Cook the carrots for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are just tender but still slightly firm. Check with a fork to ensure they are not overcooked. Drain any excess water from the pan.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter, honey, and brown sugar to the skillet with the carrots.
Step 5
Stirring occasionally, cook the carrots for 5-7 minutes, allowing the sugar and honey to melt and coat the carrots in a glossy glaze. The liquid in the pan should reduce and thicken slightly.
Step 6
Season the glazed carrots with salt and black pepper, stirring gently to combine.
Step 7
Transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
