Ingredients:- 1 pound of carrots, peeled and sliced into diagonal pieces
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 2 tablespoons of honey
- 1 tablespoon of brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
- Begin by steaming the carrot slices for 5-7 minutes, or until somewhat soft. You may steam them using a steamer basket or in a microwave-safe dish with a little water and microwave on high for a few minutes. Make sure not to overcook the carrots; they should still have a slight firmness.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan or frying pan over medium heat. Mix in the honey, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. To combine the ingredients, whisk them together thoroughly.
- Add the steamed carrot slices to the pan once the mixture is fully mixed and begins to bubble. Toss the carrots lightly to coat them evenly with the honey glaze.

- Remove the honey-glazed carrots from the pan and place them in a serving dish. To add colour and freshness, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.
- Serve the honey-glazed carrots hot as a delicious side dish that complements a range of main dishes.
