Ingredients

• 1 pound carrots
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the carrots and slice them into uniform rounds about 1/4-inch thick, or alternatively cut them into sticks if preferred.

Step 2

Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the carrots and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they are fork-tender but not mushy.

Step 3

Drain the carrots and set them aside.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Once the butter has melted, stir in the honey, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and bubbling.

Step 6

Add the cooked carrots to the skillet and toss them in the glaze, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 7

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the glaze thickens and clings to the carrots.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
