Method
 

  1. Begin by peeling and slicing your 2 lbs of carrots diagonally into pieces about 1/2 inch thick.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat.
  3. Add the sliced carrots to the skillet and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until tender but with a slight crunch.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
  5. Pour the honey glaze over the sautéed carrots in the skillet and stir well to coat.
  6. Continue cooking for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the glaze thickens and caramelizes slightly.
  7. Remove from heat, sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped parsley, and serve warm.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the glaze.
  • Adjust the honey to suit your sweetness preference; add more if desired.
  • Experiment with different herbs like thyme or rosemary for a fresh twist.
  • Avoid overcrowding the skillet; cook in batches if necessary for even cooking.
