Ingredients
- 1 lb carrots
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup water
Directions
Step 1
Peel the carrots and slice them diagonally into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Step 2
In a large skillet, add the water and bring it to a simmer over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the carrots to the skillet, cover, and cook for 7-9 minutes until they are tender but still slightly firm. Drain any excess water if needed.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and add the butter, honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper to the skillet.
Step 5
Stir the mixture gently to coat the carrots evenly. Allow the glaze to simmer for 2-3 minutes, until it thickens slightly and coats the carrots beautifully.
