One of the few veggies that Mr. W likes to eat are carrots. So, using some of the fresh honey that my friend gave me, I decided to switch it up a little. These carrots are sweet, tender and delicious. I will definitely be making these again, they were a huge hit!!!

Honey Glazed Baby Carrots
One of the few veggies that Mr. W likes to eat are carrots. So, using some of the fresh honey that my friend gave me, I decided to switch it up a little. These carrots are sweet, tender and delicious. I will definitely be making these again, they were a huge hit!!!
Prep time: 6 MinTotal time: 6 Min
Ingredients
- 1 pound baby carrots
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- salt
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add salt and then carrots and cook until tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain the carrots. Add butter, honey and lemon juice to your pan. Then put carrots back in your pan.
- Cook until a glaze coats the carrots, 5 minutes. Season with salt as needed. Serve immediately.
I have been known to put a little sugar in the water when cooking carrots but may have to give this a try! Thanks and have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteI think carrots are highly underrated!
ReplyDeletei make and love honey galzed carrots.They don't only look nice but taste fantastic;)
ReplyDeleteDonna, this sounds delicious. We eat raw carrots by the 5 pound bag every week, but I honestly can't remember cooking a single carrot in my life. I'm sitting here trying to remember. Oh, would it count if I cooked them with a roast once? I'll have to try this. I bet the kids would love it.
ReplyDeleteHoney is great on carrots, and it definitely helps when you're trying to get someone to eat the vegetable I'm sure!
