Ingredients
  

  • 450 g carrots, peeled and cut into sticks or rounds
  • 30 g unsalted butter, melted Use unsalted butter for better control of seasoning.
  • 30 ml honey Adjust the amount of honey to taste.
  • 2.5 g salt Use more or less based on preference.
  • 0.25 tsp ground cinnamon Optional, but adds a nice flavor.
  • 1 g freshly ground black pepper Add a light sprinkle to taste.
  • 5 g fresh parsley, chopped Optional, for garnish.

Equipment

  • Skillet

Method
 

  1. Peel and cut 1 pound (450g) of carrots into uniform sticks or rounds. This should take about 5 minutes.
  2. Place 2 tablespoons (30g) of unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Let it melt gently without browning, about 2 minutes.
  3. Toss the carrot pieces into the melted butter. Stir to coat evenly. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots start to soften but still have a slight crunch.
  4. Drizzle 2 tablespoons (30ml) of honey over the carrots. Stir quickly to coat them with the honey and butter mixture. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring often to prevent burning.
  5. Sprinkle ½ teaspoon (2.5g) salt, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon (optional), and a few twists of freshly ground black pepper. Stir once more to combine all the flavors.
  6. Remove from heat. If desired, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top. Serve warm.
