Instructions
Creating Honey Garlic Glazed Carrots is simple if you follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare Carrots: Begin by washing, peeling, and cutting the carrots into 1-inch pieces. This ensures even cooking and a nice presentation.
2. Boil Carrots: In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add the carrot pieces. Boil for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender but still slightly crisp. Drain and set aside.
3. Make the Glaze: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
4. Add Honey: Stir in the honey, salt, and black pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 2 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.
5. Combine Carrots and Glaze: Add the drained carrots to the skillet and toss to coat them thoroughly in the honey garlic glaze.
6. Cook Together: Sauté the carrots in the glaze for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until they are nicely caramelized and coated.
7. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving for an extra touch of color and flavor.
8. Serve Hot: Transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish and enjoy!
