Buttery Carrots image

My mother made this recipe often when I was growing up. She got it from a friend who was a chef at a local restaurant my parents frequented. The onions really bring out the sweetness of the carrots. When I have carrots fresh from the garden, I don't even peel them-I just scrub them well before cutting. For holiday buffets, I often double or triple this recipe -Mary Ellen Chambers, Lakewood, Ohio

I love the way the butter and honey caramelize on the carrots. It gives them a slightly sweet and crunchy crust.

I love this recipe! The carrots are always so tasty and the butter adds a nice richness. I often add a bit of fresh thyme or rosemary for extra flavor.
