Ingredients

• 500 grams carrots
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon pepper
• 0.25 cup water
• 1 tablespoon parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the carrots and slice them diagonally into 1/4-inch thick pieces.

Step 2

Grate the fresh ginger into a fine paste using a grater or microplane.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.

Add the sliced carrots and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.

Step 5

Stir in the honey, grated ginger, salt, and pepper. Mix until the carrots are well coated.

Pour the water into the skillet and cover with a lid. Let the carrots simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and the liquid has reduced to form a glaze.

Remove the lid and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to thicken the glaze further, if needed.

Step 8

Transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy!
