Directions

Step 1

Peel the carrots and slice them into even, diagonal pieces about 0.5 cm thick.

Step 2

Peel and thinly slice the onion into rings or half-moons.

Step 3

In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the sliced onions to the pan and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and turn golden brown.

Sprinkle the brown sugar over the carrots and onions, then drizzle with the honey. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Pour the vegetable stock into the pan, stirring gently to coat the vegetables. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 8

Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender and the liquid has reduced to a glossy glaze.

Step 9

Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.

Step 10

Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the glazed carrots and onions to a serving dish.

Step 11
