Deliciously sweet and tender vegan honey glazed carrots made with maple syrup and fresh herbs. Perfect as a side dish for any meal.
1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch thick slices
2 tablespoons vegan butter
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Add the sliced carrots to the boiling water and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until they are just tender but still firm.
Drain the carrots and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the vegan butter over medium heat.
Add the cooked carrots to the skillet and stir to coat them in the melted vegan butter.
Pour the maple syrup over the carrots and stir to combine.
Cook the carrots for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are glazed and slightly caramelized.
Season with salt and black pepper, then stir in the fresh lemon juice.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
