SIMPLY DELICIOUS HONEY SPICED CARROTS

Edited after RSC reviews to make this less sweet. Carrots are a tasty yet budget conscious vegetable. However, cardamom can be an expensive spice so I buy it in bulk at my Health Food Store. That way I can buy just what I need at a fraction of the price charged in the grocery store! Kids generally like baby carrots so why not cook them up as a tasty side dish and get them eating a vegetable with their meal! Remember, DO NOT give honey to children under one year of age! I like to saute the carrots as that brings out the sweetness of the carrots but steam them if you prefer. Hope you enjoy this creation!

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb baby carrots
1 tablespoon honey (originally 2 T)
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 tablespoon cilantro, chopped (optional) or 1/2 tablespoon parsley (optional)
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Saute or steam carrots until they are cooked to your desired texture and transfer to serving bowl.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter and mix in the honey, cinnamon and cardamom. Drizzle mixture over warm carrots. Sprinkle with chopped parsley or cilantro, if desired.
  • Season with salt and pepper if desired. Enjoy.

Tips:

  • Select the right carrots: Choose fresh, young carrots with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid carrots that are too large or have blemishes, as these may be woody or bitter.
  • Prepare the carrots properly: Peel the carrots and cut them into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a flavorful spice blend: The spice blend used in this recipe is a key component of the dish. Make sure to use a blend that includes warm, aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, and ginger.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the carrots, make sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming mushy.
  • Roast the carrots until tender: Roast the carrots in the oven until they are tender and slightly caramelized. This will take about 20-25 minutes.
  • Serve immediately: Honey-spiced carrots are best served immediately after they are roasted. This will allow you to enjoy their full flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Honey-spiced carrots are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. They are easy to make and packed with flavor. The combination of sweet honey, warm spices, and tender carrots makes this dish a surefire hit. Whether you are serving it at a holiday dinner or a weeknight meal, honey-spiced carrots are sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
