Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dinner Recipes     Dinner Side Dishes

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pound peeled carrots (about 12; each 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in a skillet large enough to hold carrots in a single layer. Cook over high heat, shaking pan occasionally, 4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook until water evaporates and carrots are just glazed with butter, about 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Select carrots that are medium in size and have a smooth, uniform shape. Avoid carrots that are too large or have cracks or blemishes.
  • Peel and trim the carrots: Use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin from the carrots. Then, trim off the ends of the carrots.
  • Cut the carrots into even-sized pieces: Cut the carrots into 2-inch pieces or smaller. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a nonstick skillet: A nonstick skillet will help prevent the carrots from sticking and burning.
  • Cook the carrots over medium heat: Cook the carrots over medium heat until they are tender and slightly browned. This will take about 10-12 minutes.
  • Add the honey glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, butter, orange juice, and spices. Then, pour the glaze over the carrots and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the glaze is thickened and bubbly.
  • Serve immediately: Honey glazed carrots are best served immediately. They can be enjoyed as a side dish or as a snack.

Conclusion:

Honey glazed carrots are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a great way to add a touch of sweetness and flavor to your next meal. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your family and friends.
