Honey Glazed Carrots

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 tablespoon salted butter
• 2 lbs carrots (peeled and sliced into 1-½ inch pieces, cut on the diagonal)
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt and black pepper to taste
• 2 teaspoons fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (finely chopped)
• Zest of one lemon

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   Make sure the carrot pieces are of even thickness so they cook evenly.

2. 2

   Melt the butter in a large deep skillet with a fitted lid or medium pot over medium heat. Add the carrots, olive oil, salt, pepper, and thyme and toss to coat.

3. 3

   Cover and cook over medium to medium-low heat for 18 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender when pierced with a fork.

4. 4

   Stir in the honey and cook uncovered for 2 to 3 minutes, tossing until the carrots are lightly glazed.

5. 5

   Remove from heat and stir in the parsley and lemon zest. Serve warm.
