Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons butter 🧈
  • 4 tablespoons liquid honey 🍯
  • 4 tablespoons lemon juice 🍋
  • 2 teaspoons tapioca starch
  • 1/4 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (plus extra for cooking carrots) 🧂
  • 1/8 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1 1/2 pounds carrots, washed and trimmed 🥕

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Carrots: Begin by washing and trimming the carrots to your desired size.

  2. Cook the Carrots: In a medium-sized saucepan, place the prepared carrots, add a pinch of salt, and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the carrots are almost tender, approximately 10 minutes.

  3. Prepare the Glaze: While the carrots are cooking, it’s time to prepare the delicious glaze. In a large frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the liquid honey and grated ginger to the pan, stirring continuously for about a minute until the ingredients are well combined and fragrant.

  4. Glaze the Carrots: Once the carrots are almost tender, transfer them to the frying pan with the honey-ginger mixture. Stir the carrots well, ensuring they are evenly coated with the glaze.

  5. Cook the Glazed Carrots: Cover the frying pan and cook the carrots over medium-high heat for approximately 3 to 4 minutes, or until the carrots are glazed and glossy, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

  6. Prepare the Sauce: While the carrots are cooking, prepare the sauce by mixing together the orange juice, lemon juice, and tapioca starch in a small mixing bowl until well combined.

  7. Thicken the Sauce: Once the carrots are glazed and glossy, add the prepared sauce to the frying pan along with the remaining salt and white pepper. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly, approximately 3 minutes.

  8. Serve: Once the sauce has thickened and the carrots are coated to perfection, transfer them to a serving dish and garnish with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley or a drizzle of extra honey, if desired. Serve these delectable Honey Ginger Glazed Carrots alongside your favorite main course and enjoy the burst of flavors with every bite.

These Honey Ginger Glazed Carrots are not only visually stunning but also bursting with flavor, making them the perfect addition to any meal. With their simple preparation and exquisite taste, they are sure to become a family favorite that you’ll want to enjoy time and time again.
