Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 100 grams walnuts
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 cup water
Directions
Step 1
Peel the carrots and slice them into uniform rounds or sticks, approximately 1/4-inch thick.
Step 2
In a large skillet, add the cup of water and bring it to a simmer.
Step 3
Add the sliced carrots to the skillet, cover with a lid, and steam them for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are just tender but not mushy. Drain any remaining water from the skillet.
Step 4
While the carrots are cooking, toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 5
Return the skillet with the carrots to medium heat and add the butter. Let the butter melt and coat the carrots evenly.
Step 6
Drizzle the honey over the carrots and stir gently to combine. Season with salt and black pepper.
Step 7
Add the toasted walnuts to the skillet and toss lightly to distribute them evenly throughout the dish.
Step 8
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the honey glaze thickens slightly and coats the carrots and walnuts.
Step 9
Transfer the walnut carrots to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Step 10
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
