Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lb carrots peeled and cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
  • 0.25 cup water
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 0.5 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.125 tsp black pepper

Equipment

  • 1 12-inch skillet

Method
 

  1. Add the carrots, water, and salt to a 12-inch skillet.
  2. Cover and cook over medium heat for 8 to 12 minutes, stirring once, until the carrots are tender when pierced with a fork.
  3. Uncover and add the butter, honey, and black pepper.
  4. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, for 3 to 5 minutes, until the liquid reduces to a glossy glaze that coats the carrots.

Notes

For the glossiest coating, stir often as the liquid reduces. Refrigerate leftovers for 3 to 4 days; freezing is not recommended because the carrots may soften. For a dairy-free version, substitute vegan butter.
