These honey-glazed carrots are tender, glossy, and perfectly caramelized. A quick stovetop side dish with the perfect balance of sweet and savory.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 medium carrots (1 pound)*
  • 2 tablespoons butter (or olive oil for dairy free)
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons honey

Instructions

  1. Peel the carrots and slice them diagonally into 1/4-inch rounds (on the bias).
  2. Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the carrots and cover. Cook for 4 minutes without stirring.
  3. Remove the lid, stir, and add the 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, brown sugar and honey. Continue to saute uncovered 3 to 4 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and caramel in color and the carrots are crisp tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and add about 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt (to taste). Serve immediately.

Notes

*For a crowd: Double the recipe (2 pounds carrots, serves 8) using boiled carrots: Boil sliced carrots 4-5 minutes until crisp-tender, drain thoroughly. Melt double the butter, brown sugar, and honey in the pot, add carrots, toss, and remove from heat.

Substitutions: Use maple syrup instead of honey for vegan. Use olive oil or vegan butter for dairy-free.

Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet for best results.
