Honey-Glazed Carrots
These honey-glazed carrots are a delightful side dish that balance sweetness and a hint of garlic, making them an excellent addition to any meal. Quick to prepare, they're perfect for busy weeknights or special occasions.
Equipment
- Medium saucepan
Ingredients
- 5 large carrots (250 grams)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- water for boiling
Instructions
- Start by peeling the carrots and slicing them into thin rounds.
- Place the sliced carrots into a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water.
- Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer until the carrots reach a crisp-tender texture, around 6-8 minutes. Thoroughly drain the carrots.
- In the same pan, combine the drained carrots, butter, honey, brown sugar, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
- Cook this mixture over medium heat, stirring continuously until the carrots are tender and the glaze begins to thicken, which should take about 5 minutes.
- Serve the honey-glazed carrots warm and enjoy the delightful taste!
