🥕 Honey Glazed Carrots (Sweet, Buttery Side Dish)
A simple side dish that’s slightly sweet, glossy, and goes well with almost any meal.
🧾 Ingredients
- 500g carrots (sliced into rounds or sticks)
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper (optional)
- 1–2 tbsp water
- Optional: pinch of cinnamon or garlic powder
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Cook the carrots
- Boil or steam carrots for 6–8 minutes until just tender (not mushy)
- Drain well
2. Make the glaze
- In a pan, melt butter over medium heat
- Add honey + water + salt (and optional spices)
- Stir until smooth and slightly bubbly
3. Glaze the carrots
- Add cooked carrots into the pan
- Toss and cook for 2–4 minutes until fully coated and glossy
🍽️ Serve
- Serve warm as a side dish
- Great with chicken, beef, or roast meals
💡 Tips
- Don’t overcook carrots or they’ll lose texture
- Add a splash of lemon juice for a slight tang
- For deeper flavor, roast carrots instead of boiling
If you want, I can also give:
- a garlic honey glazed carrots version
- a brown sugar glazed version (more caramel-like)
- or a oven-roasted honey carrots recipe 🔥
