A delightful side dish of tender carrots glazed with honey and citrus zest, perfect for any meal.
Peel and slice the carrots into even-sized pieces.
Even slicing ensures the carrots cook uniformly.
Place the butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted.
Cover the bowl with a paper towel to avoid splatters.
Add the honey and orange zest to the melted butter and stir to combine.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Add the sliced carrots to the bowl and toss to coat them with the glaze.
Ensure all carrot pieces are evenly coated for a consistent flavor.
Cover the bowl and microwave on high for 5-8 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the carrots are tender.
Check the carrots for doneness by piercing them with a fork.
Serve the glazed carrots warm, garnished with additional orange zest if desired.
For a touch of freshness, add a sprinkle of chopped parsley.
