Honey Glazed Carrots

Honey Glazed Carrots, because sometimes you want something to make you feel good with minimal effort.

These little babies are so good with just about anything or by themselves as a snack. They are delicious strait off the stove, but can also be served cold as part of a romantic picnic. The uses for this simple yet elegant dish are endless.

You will needed:

2 cups fresh carrots, or 1 can of drained carrots; 3 tablespoons butter; 3 tablespoons honey. Yep, that’s it!

If you are using canned carrots, skip the next couple of steps and go strait to the glaze

Take your cut carrots and place them in a medium sized sauce pan. I used a french fry cutter to cut these carrots since they were so large; plus I thought it added a little something to the dish 🙂

Cover the carrots with water, about half way up the pan and place on medium to medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes, until they are just fork tender.

Once the carrots are fork tender, remove them from the heat and drain the water. Place carrots back into pan.

The Glaze 🙂

Once the carrots are cooked and drained, add 3 tablespoons of butter and 3 tablespoons of honey; or equal parts butter and honey.

Just look at this yumminess!

Place the pan back onto the stove over medium-low heat and bring back to a simmer. Let carrots and glaze simmer until the liquid reduces to a thin sticky glaze that coats the carrots. About 10 minutes. Remove from stove and serve.
