Ingredients

• 1 pound carrots
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
• 1.5 tablespoons honey
• 0.5 cup vegetable broth
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and cut the carrots into thin, even slices or julienne strips for faster cooking.

Step 2

Peel the fresh ginger and grate it finely to yield 1 tablespoon.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the grated ginger to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring, until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the sliced carrots to the pan and toss to coat them evenly with the ginger and butter mixture.

Step 6

Pour the vegetable broth into the pan and sprinkle in the salt and black pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Cover the pan with a lid and allow the carrots to simmer over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.

Step 8

Remove the lid and stir in the honey, allowing the liquid to reduce slightly and glaze the carrots. This should take about 4-5 minutes.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 10

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