Sweet and tender vegan honey glazed carrots made with maple syrup and a touch of vegan butter. A perfect side dish that’s simple, flavorful, and wholesome.
1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices
2 tablespoons vegan butter
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the sliced carrots and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until just tender but not mushy. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the vegan butter over medium heat.
Add the maple syrup, salt, black pepper, and ground cinnamon to the skillet. Stir to combine and heat for 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture is bubbly.
Add the cooked carrots to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the glaze.
Cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are fully glazed and heated through.
Remove from heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice.
Transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
