Here’s a simple and flavorful recipe for Honey Glazed Carrots—sweet, buttery, and perfect as a side dish:
🥕 Ingredients
- 500g carrots (peeled and sliced or baby carrots)
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp honey
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp cinnamon (optional)
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
👩🍳 Instructions
- Cook the carrots:
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add carrots and cook for 5–7 minutes until just tender.
- Drain and set aside.
- Make the glaze:
- In a pan, melt butter over medium heat.
- Stir in honey, salt, pepper, and cinnamon (if using).
- Combine:
- Add the cooked carrots to the pan.
- Toss well to coat them in the glaze.
- Cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly caramelized.
- Serve:
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
🌟 Tips
- Use baby carrots for convenience or slice larger carrots evenly.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice for a slight tang.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle a bit of garlic or ginger into the glaze.
- Roast instead of boiling for deeper caramelization (200°C / 400°F for ~20 minutes, then glaze).
If you want, I can give you a roasted oven version, a savory (less sweet) variation, or a holiday-style spiced version.
