Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb carrots peeled and sliced evenly
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch salt to taste
  • 1 tsp lemon juice optional, for brightness

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Knife

Method
 

  1. Peel and slice carrots evenly for uniform cooking.
  2. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add carrots and cook until tender, about 7-8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in honey, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Let it warm gently until glossy and aromatic.
  4. Add the cooked carrots to the glaze and toss gently until well coated.
  5. Drizzle with optional lemon juice before serving for a touch of brightness.

Notes

Try roasting the carrots instead of boiling for a deeper caramelized flavor. You can also add a splash of orange juice or a pinch of nutmeg for a holiday twist.
