Honey-Glazed Carrots

Tender butter-basted carrots finished with a sticky honey glaze and a whisper of thyme — on the table in under 25 minutes and impressive enough for a holiday spread.

⏱ 25 minServes 4American

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch diagonal coins
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

  1. 1Combine carrots, butter, honey, water, salt, pepper, and thyme in a wide skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. 2Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook for 8 minutes until carrots are just tender.
  3. 3Uncover, increase heat to medium-high, and cook stirring frequently for 4–5 minutes until the liquid reduces to a glossy glaze that coats the carrots.
  4. 4Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.

💡 Baby carrots work perfectly here — no peeling or cutting required. For a maple-forward Canadian twist, substitute maple syrup for the honey.
