Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the carrots. Cut them into even-sized pieces, about 1/4-inch thick rounds or slices at an angle for a more elegant presentation.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the carrots to the skillet and stir to coat them evenly with the melted butter.

Step 4

Sprinkle in the salt and ground black pepper, stirring to combine.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and drizzle the honey over the carrots. Stir well to evenly coat the carrots in the sweet butter glaze.

Step 7

Cook for another 2-3 minutes, letting the honey caramelize slightly and create a glossy glaze.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the sweet butter carrots to a serving dish.

Step 9

If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and a fresh herbal note.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your Sweet Butter Carrots as a delightful side dish!
