A delightful side dish featuring tender carrots glazed with a honey-citrus sauce, perfect for any meal.
Peel and slice the carrots into even-sized pieces.
Cutting the carrots evenly ensures they cook at the same rate.
Juice the orange and lemon, and mix the juices with the honey in a small bowl.
Warming the honey slightly can make it easier to mix with the juices.
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the butter doesn't brown to maintain a smooth flavor.
Add the carrots to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.
Stir occasionally to prevent the carrots from sticking.
Pour the honey-citrus mixture over the carrots, season with salt and pepper, and stir to coat evenly.
Taste the glaze and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Reduce the heat to low and let the carrots simmer in the glaze for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and well-coated.
Cover the skillet partially to retain moisture while allowing the glaze to thicken.
Serve the glazed carrots warm, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired.
Fresh parsley or chives make an excellent garnish for added color and flavor.
