Follow The Directions

01

Step
15 mins

Prepare Carrots: Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a rolling boil. Add the baby carrots, cover, and steam until tender-crisp, approximately 12-15 minutes. (12-15 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

Prepare Glaze: While the carrots are steaming, melt the butter in a separate saucepan over low heat. Once melted, whisk in the honey and cornstarch until smooth and well combined. Simmer gently for 1-2 minutes, allowing the glaze to thicken slightly. (2 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

Glaze Carrots: Drain the steamed carrots thoroughly. Add the cooked carrots to the saucepan with the honey glaze. Toss gently to coat each carrot evenly in the luscious glaze. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Serve Immediately: Transfer the honey-glazed baby carrots to a serving dish and serve immediately as a delightful side dish. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.

For a richer flavor, use brown butter in the glaze. Simply continue cooking the melted butter until it turns a nutty brown color before adding the honey and cornstarch.
A pinch of sea salt or a squeeze of lemon juice can be added to the glaze to enhance the flavors and create a more complex taste profile.
These carrots are also delicious served chilled as part of a salad or crudité platter.
