Honey Glazed Carrots
Honey glazed carrots are a welcome side dish combining the natural sweetness of carrots with a light and buttery honey glaze.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 6 medium carrots, peeled and cut at an angle into ½-inch-thick ovals about 1 pound
- ½ cup water
- 3 tablespoons honey divided
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt adjust to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 teaspoons fresh Italian parsley chopped small
- ½ teaspoon fresh thyme leaves OPTIONAL
Instructions
- Add the carrots, water, 2 tablespoons of honey, and salt to a saucepan. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, the carrots should be softening, but not yet tender. Stir occasionally as they cook.
- Increase heat to high, and simmer until the liquid in the pan has thickened enough to coat the carrots, 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently. The carrots should be tender, but not at all mushy. Take care not to overcook.
- Remove from the heat and immediately add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan. Stir to melt and drizzle the carrots with the remaining tablespoon of honey.
- Stir in the parsley and thyme, adjust the salt if needed, and serve immediately.
