1poundcarrots,peeled and trimmed (aim for evenly sized carrots; cut carrots into halves or quarters if needed)
2tablespoonsolive oil
1/2teaspoonsalt
1/4teaspoonground black pepper
1tablespoonbutter
6clovesgarlic,minced
1/4cuphoney
1tablespoonfresh parsley,finely chopped, for garnish
Instructions
Add the carrots to a skillet along with the olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper. Over medium heat, fry the carrots for 5 minutes on each side. Refrain from moving the carrots around too much while they are frying. Leaving them to fry will help to brown them slightly.
Once the carrots are fork tender, remove them from the skillet and transfer them to a plate. Set them aside.
Next, add the butter and garlic to the skillet. Fry the garlic for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and lightly browned.
Add the honey to the skillet and stir to incorporate into the butter and garlic.
Lastly, add the carrots back to the skillet and toss them gently to coat with the honey. Allow the carrots to reheat in the honey garlic sauce for 2 minutes. Plate, garnish, and serve immediately.
