Recipe Instructions:

Prepare Carrots: Start by cooking the sliced carrots in salted water until they are tender. Once cooked, drain them thoroughly and set aside.
-
Create Glaze: In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the honey and brandy, stirring until well combined and slightly bubbly.
-
Glaze Carrots: Carefully add the cooked carrots to the skillet with the honey-brandy glaze. Toss the carrots gently to coat them evenly in the glaze.
-
Finish with Parsley: Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the glazed carrots, stirring gently to incorporate.
-
Serve: Once the carrots are glazed and glossy, transfer them to a serving dish and garnish with additional parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy the irresistible combination of flavors!
Recipe Notes:
- To adjust the sweetness of the glaze, you can add more or less honey according to your preference.
- If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, you can omit the brandy or substitute it with apple juice for a similar depth of flavor.
- Be sure to watch the carrots carefully as they cook in the glaze to prevent burning or sticking to the skillet.
- This dish pairs well with a variety of main courses, from roasted chicken to grilled steak or even a vegetarian tofu dish.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Simply reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop before serving.
