Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lb carrots peeled and cut into 1/4-inch rounds
  • 0.5 cup water
  • 0.5 tsp salt kosher
  • 2 tbsp butter unsalted
  • 3 tbsp honey

Equipment

  • 1 12-inch skillet with a lid

Method
 

  1. Add the carrots, water, and salt to a 12-inch skillet with a lid.
  2. Cover and cook over medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring once, until the carrots are just tender when pierced with a fork.
  3. Carefully drain any remaining water from the skillet.
  4. Return the carrots to the skillet and add the butter and honey.
  5. Cook uncovered over medium-low heat for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring gently, until the butter is melted and the carrots are evenly coated in a glossy glaze.

Notes

For an even glaze, drain the carrots thoroughly before adding the butter and honey. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days; freezing is not recommended because the carrots can soften. For a dairy-free version, use plant-based butter.
