Ingredients
- 1 pound baby carrots
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse and trim the baby carrots if necessary, ensuring they are clean and uniform in size for even cooking.
Step 2
In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the baby carrots to the skillet, tossing them gently to coat in the melted butter.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the skillet with a lid. Cook the carrots for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still slightly firm.
Step 5
While the carrots are cooking, combine the honey, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, lemon juice, salt, and ground black pepper in a small bowl. Mix well to create a smooth glaze.
Step 6
Once the carrots are tender, pour the glaze over them in the skillet. Increase the heat to medium and cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the glaze thickens and coats the carrots evenly.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the glazed baby carrots to a serving dish.
Step 8
If desired, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the carrots for garnish before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy!
