Ingredients

Scale

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

Place the sliced carrots in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Reduce heat to medium and simmer the carrots for 5-7 minutes, or until they are just tender but still slightly firm. Drain the carrots and set aside.
In the same saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the honey, salt, and black pepper to the melted butter and stir until combined and bubbling slightly, about 1 minute.
Add the drained carrots to the saucepan and toss to coat them evenly with the honey butter glaze.
Cook the carrots in the glaze for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the carrots are fully coated and heated through.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice.
Transfer the honey glazed carrots to a serving dish and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
