Ingredients

• 500 grams carrots
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1.5 tablespoons honey
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 60 milliliters water
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the carrots and cut them into equal-sized sticks or rounds, about 1/4-inch thick, for even cooking.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the carrots to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.

Step 4

Sprinkle the cumin over the carrots and toss well to coat them evenly with the spice.

Step 5

Add the honey, salt, and black pepper to the skillet, stirring to combine with the carrots.

Step 6

Pour in the water and cover the skillet with a lid. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the carrots cook for 7-10 minutes, until they are tender and the water has mostly evaporated.

Step 7

Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium. Toss the carrots occasionally as the remaining liquid reduces to a sticky glaze, coating the carrots.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish.

Step 9

Optional: Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a bright, fresh garnish before serving.
