Ingredients

• 500 grams carrots
• 1 tablespoon (grated) fresh ginger
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 clove (minced) garlic
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon (chopped) fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the carrots. Slice them into evenly sized rounds about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 3

Once the olive oil is hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, but be careful not to let it burn.

Step 4

Add the sliced carrots to the skillet. Stir well to coat the carrots with the ginger-garlic mixture.

Step 5

Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the carrots. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the carrots cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.

Step 6

Pour in the honey and lemon juice. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, for another 5-7 minutes or until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Step 8

Transfer the gingery sautéed carrots to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy as a vibrant side dish.
