Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Peel and slice the carrots into evenly sized rounds, about 1/4-inch thick, to ensure even cooking.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the cumin seeds to the hot oil and cook for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the sliced carrots to the pan and toss to coat them evenly in the oil and cumin seeds.
Step 5
Season with salt and black pepper, then cook the carrots for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften but retain a slight crunch.
Step 6
Drizzle the honey over the carrots and stir well to coat. Continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the honey to glaze the carrots and slightly caramelize.
Step 7
Once the carrots are tender and glossy, remove them from the heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 8
Transfer to a serving dish and, if desired, garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color.
Step 9
Serve warm as a side dish to complement roasted meats, rice dishes, or any hearty meal.
