Ingredients

• 4 large carrots
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 tablespoons orange juice
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
• 1 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Peel the carrots and cut them into 1/4-inch thick round slices to create 'coins.'

Step 2

In a large skillet or sauté pan, combine the carrot coins with 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to medium. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the carrots are tender but not mushy. Drain off any remaining water and set the cooked carrots aside.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and melt the butter in the same skillet. Stir in the brown sugar, honey, orange juice, salt, and ground black pepper to create a smooth glaze.

Step 5

Add the cooked carrot coins back into the skillet, tossing them gently to coat evenly with the glaze.

Step 6

Cook for an additional 5 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens and evenly coats the carrots.

Step 7

Transfer the glazed carrot coins to a serving dish and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish.

Step 8

Serve warm as a delicious side dish.
