Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the carrots and slice them diagonally into 1/4-inch thick rounds. For larger carrots, slice them in half lengthwise before cutting into rounds.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the sliced carrots and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they are just tender but still have some bite. Drain and set aside.
Step 3
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Step 4
Stir in the maple syrup and Dijon mustard, and mix until well combined.
Step 5
Add the cooked carrots to the skillet, tossing to coat them evenly with the maple mustard glaze. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens slightly and clings to the carrots.
Step 6
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 7
Transfer the carrots to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Step 8
Serve warm and enjoy!
