Honey Glazed Carrots
Honey Glazed Carrots are a simple side dish to add to your holiday table! These carrots are quick to make and use just a handful of ingredients.
Servings 4 -6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound baby carrots
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cut carrots in half on an angle.
- Melt butter in a small dutch oven or medium pot over medium heat. Make sure the pot is big enough that the carrots only come about halfway up the sides.
- Once the butter is melted, add the carrots, honey, a teaspoon of salt and several generous grinds of black pepper. Stir to combine, cover and cook on high for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, remove the lid and stir; reduce the heat to medium and cook for an additional 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are fork tender and the melted butter and honey have reduced into a glaze. Add additional salt and pepper if necessary.
Notes
- Because there are just a handful of ingredients in this recipe, make sure to use a good quality honey.
- If you do not have baby carrots, peel 1 pound of large carrots and cut into 1 to 1 ½-inch pieces.
- This recipe scales up well; just be sure to use a large enough pot so the carrots are not over-crowded.
