• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 2 tablespoons, finely chopped fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel and trim the carrots. Slice them into evenly sized sticks, about 2-3 inches long.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter with the olive oil.

Step 3

Add the finely chopped shallot and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened and translucent.
