Ingredients

• 500 grams carrots
• 240 ml orange juice
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon curry powder
• 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and slice the carrots into even-sized coins or sticks for uniform cooking.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until it begins to foam.

Step 3

Add the curry powder and ground ginger to the butter, stirring for 30 seconds to release their aroma.

Step 4

Add the sliced carrots to the skillet, stirring to coat them evenly with the spiced butter.

Step 5

Pour in the orange juice and honey, stirring to combine. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the skillet and let the carrots cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but not mushy.

Step 7

Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium. Allow the sauce to reduce and thicken for an additional 3-5 minutes, coating the carrots in a glossy glaze.

Step 8

Transfer the carrots to a serving dish and sprinkle with optional fresh parsley for garnish before serving.
