1 pound carrots 1/2 cup water 1/2 tablespoon butter can be dairy free if you prefer 1/2 tablespoon olive oil 1/2 tablespoon honey 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt Fresh herbs for garnish
Peel carrots and slice into 1/4 inch thick coins on a diagonal
Place in saute pan with lid along with water
Bring to a simmer and let cook for 3-5 minutes until water starts to evaporate and carrots are slightly tender
Remove lid and let remaining water cook off until only about 1 tablespoon remains
Add remaining ingredients except herbs and let cook and additional 3-4 minutes until carrots are tender
Garnish with fresh herbs to serve
use fresh peeled and sliced regular carrots and not baby carrots in this recipe for best results
you can use a smaller 10 inch skillet for this recipe, or double and use a larger skillet
the thinner the carrots are sliced the faster they will cook
if substituting dried herbs, use about 1 teaspoon and add them in with the honey, etc. so that they can soften
I like to add the fresh herbs about 1 minute before I'm done cooking so they incorporate but don't get overcooked
