Candied / Honey-Glazed Carrots Bowl
INGREDIENTS:
500g carrots (peeled and sliced or baby carrots)
2 tbsp butter
3 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp honey
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
2 cloves garlic (optional, minced)
1 tbsp maple syrup (optional, for extra flavor)
Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
INSTRUCTIONS:
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the carrots.
Cook for 8–10 minutes until tender but not mushy. Drain well.
In a pan, melt butter over medium heat.
Add garlic (if using) and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in brown sugar, honey, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
Add the cooked carrots and toss to coat evenly.
Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens and coats the carrots.
Drizzle maple syrup if desired and mix well.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve warm.
TIPS:
Do not overcook the carrots—they should stay slightly firm.
Stir gently to avoid breaking the carrots.
Adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey/sugar.
For a richer taste, use a mix of honey and maple syrup.
Add a pinch of cinnamon for a warm, festive flavor.
