Ingredients
CARROTS Any carrots work and honestly, I find the inexpensive grocery store carrots to be a favorite in this recipe. Baby carrots work great in this recipe too but might need a little bit longer to cook. HONEY Honey combined with butter and herbs on carrots is an amazing combo. No honey? No problem, substitute real maple syrup! BUTTER & HERBS Fresh butter combined with fresh or dried thyme for a little savory (and salt of course) is the perfect addition! VARIATIONS Add a pinch of dried ginger or some lemon juice or orange peel to the butter in place of fresh thyme.
How to Make Honey Glazed Carrots
Carrots can be steamed or boiled in this recipe. These yummy veggies are quick and easy to prep and serve! Garnish with fresh parsley or dill if desired.
Leftovers
Keep honey glazed carrots in an airtight container in the refrigerator and they should last about 3 days. Honey glazed carrots can be frozen, too! Place them in a zippered bag with the date written on the outside and they will last about a month or two in the freezer. Heat leftovers in the microwave or on the stove over medium-low heat with a dash of butter and some kosher salt and pepper.
