Print Recipe

A quick and easy side dish featuring carrots glazed with nutty brown butter, sweet honey, and fresh herbs for a comforting and flavorful addition to any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450g) carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch thick rounds or sticks
  • 4 tablespoons (60g) unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) honey
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme or flat-leaf parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and cut 1 pound (450g) of carrots into uniform 1/2-inch slices or sticks. Set aside. (5 minutes)
  2. Place 4 tablespoons (60g) of unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir frequently as the butter melts and foams, turning golden amber and smelling nutty. Remove from heat immediately once browned. (4 minutes)
  3. Return skillet to medium heat and add carrots to the brown butter. Toss to coat and sauté for 8-10 minutes until tender but still slightly firm. (10 minutes)
  4. Drizzle 2 tablespoons (30ml) honey over carrots and stir to combine. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Optionally, add 1 teaspoon (5ml) lemon juice. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to warm through. (2-3 minutes)
  5. Remove skillet from heat and sprinkle 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme or parsley over the carrots. Stir gently to distribute herbs evenly. Serve immediately while warm. (2 minutes)

Notes

Watch the butter closely to avoid burning; add fresh herbs off the heat to preserve flavor; if carrots are thick, add a splash of water or broth and cover briefly to soften before glazing; avoid overcrowding the pan for even cooking; can substitute maple syrup for honey for a vegan version.
