Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb fresh carrots, peeled and sliced
- 3 tbsp pure honey
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Fresh herbs (thyme or parsley), for garnish
Instructions
- Prep Your Ingredients: Peel and slice the carrots into even pieces.
- Sauté the Carrots: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the carrots and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they soften.
- Add the Honey: Drizzle in the honey, stirring to coat the carrots. Lower heat to avoid burning the honey.

- Serve Warm: Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy warm. Best fresh, but can be served at room temperature.
Notes
Ensure even cooking by slicing the carrots uniformly. Adjust the balance of honey and salt to taste.
