Ingredients

• 500 grams carrots
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves
• 1 cup water
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large skillet or saucepan, add the water and bring it to a simmer over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the sliced carrots and salt to the skillet, cover, and let them cook for 8-10 minutes until the carrots are tender but not mushy. Stir occasionally.

Step 4

Once the water has mostly evaporated, reduce the heat to low and add the butter and honey to the skillet.

Step 5

Gently stir the carrots to coat them evenly in the honey-butter mixture and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing the glaze to thicken slightly.

Step 6

Season with black pepper and stir in the chopped fresh mint leaves.

Step 7

Transfer the honey mint carrots to a serving dish and garnish with a few extra mint leaves, if desired.

Step 8

Serve warm and enjoy!
