Perfect Honey Glazed Carrots Recipe

Start by washing and peeling the carrots. It seems basic, but trust me, cleaning vegetables thoroughly is a crucial step that cannot be skipped.

Cut the carrots into 2-inch pieces. The size doesn't have to be accurate, but equally sized pieces ensure even cooking.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Use a pan that's large enough to contain the carrots without crowding; this will allow them to cook evenly.

Add carrots to the skillet and cook, stirring often, until they start to soften. This should take about 10 minutes. Be patient at this stage as the carrots need to be just tender, so they absorb the honey well.

Drizzle the honey over the carrots and toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. The honey brings out the natural sweetness and provides a beautiful glaze that's irresistible.

Continue to cook for another 5 to 7 minutes, or until the carrots are fully cooked and the honey has caramelized a bit.

Transfer the carrots to a serving dish, garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.
