Ingredients
- 2 pounds carrots peeled and sliced into coins
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup butter I use salted (can use unsalted and add ⅛ teaspoon salt)
Instructions
- Steam or boil cut carrots (I cut them into coins) until they are crisp tender. Note that they will be cooked a couple of minutes in the glaze. When finished, drain and set aside.
- Melt butter and mix butter and honey together. Let it lightly simmer for a couple of minutes.
- Add carrots back to pot and stir well. Leave it on low heat for a couple of minutes to ensure carrots are heated through. This is not a thick glaze, but a coating that adds a sweat flavor to the carrots.
Notes
