Ingredients

• 500 grams carrots
• 300 grams pearl onions
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1.5 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1.5 tablespoons honey
• 120 milliliters vegetable stock
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the carrots and cut them into evenly sized, diagonal slices about 1/4 inch thick. If using large carrots, slice them in half lengthwise before cutting to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

Blanch the pearl onions by boiling them in hot water for 1-2 minutes. Transfer them to an ice bath, then peel off the outer skin.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the brown sugar and honey to the melted butter, stirring until both are fully dissolved and the mixture is evenly combined.

Step 5

Add the carrots and pearl onions to the skillet, stirring to coat them evenly in the butter and sugar mixture.

Step 6

Pour in the vegetable stock and season with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet. Let the vegetables cook for about 15-18 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender and the stock has mostly reduced into a glaze.

Step 8

Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium. Stir for 2-3 minutes until the glaze thickens and coats the vegetables thoroughly.

Step 9

Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if desired.

Step 10

Transfer the glazed onions and carrots to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley, if using. Serve warm.
