A delightful side dish featuring tender carrot rounds glazed in a sweet honey butter sauce.
Peel the carrots and slice them into even rounds.
Evenly sliced carrots ensure consistent cooking and a uniform appearance.
Place the carrot slices in a microwave-safe bowl, add water to cover, and cover the bowl with plastic wrap.
Covering the bowl helps steam the carrots, making them tender.
Microwave the carrots for 6 minutes until tender but not mushy. Drain and set aside.
Check the carrots for doneness by piercing them with a fork; they should be soft but firm.
In a frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat, then stir in the honey, salt, and pepper.
Stir continuously to prevent the glaze from burning.
Add the cooked carrots to the pan and toss to coat them in the glaze. Cook for 3 minutes until well-coated.
Ensure all carrot slices are evenly coated for the best flavor.
Transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish and garnish with chopped parsley.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
