Honey Glazed Carrots
These honey glazed carrots are a quick and easy side dish combining tender carrots with a rich, buttery honey glaze. Perfect for any occasion and loaded with nutrients!
Ingredients
- 8 medium carrots (1 pound)
- 2 tablespoons butter (or olive oil for dairy-free)
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
- ½ tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Peel the carrots and slice them diagonally into 1/4-inch rounds.
- In a large skillet, heat butter over medium-high heat until melted.
- Add the sliced carrots to the skillet and cover with a lid. Cook for 4 minutes without stirring to allow the carrots to tenderize.
- Remove the lid, stir, and mix in ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, brown sugar, and honey.
- Sauté uncovered for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze is bubbly, caramel-colored, and the carrots are crisp-tender.
- Remove from heat and adjust seasoning with an additional pinch of kosher salt if needed.
- Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
