Ingredients

• 1 pound baby carrots
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 cup water
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and finely grate the fresh ginger. Set it aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet or sauté pan, add the baby carrots, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium, cover, and allow the carrots to cook for 8–10 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

Step 4

Drain any excess water from the skillet and return the carrots to the pan.

Step 5

Add the unsalted butter, grated ginger, and honey to the pan with the cooked carrots.

Step 6

Cook over medium heat while stirring frequently, ensuring the carrots are evenly coated in the glaze. Continue for 3–5 minutes until the glaze thickens slightly and clings to the carrots.

Step 7

Season with ground black pepper and adjust salt to taste if necessary.

Step 8

Transfer the gingered baby carrots to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy!
