Prep Time 10 minutesminutes
Total Time 10 minutesminutes
Servings 4-6 servings
Ingredients
1poundbaby carrots
3tablespoonsbutter
3tablespoonshoney
1teaspoonfine 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.
