| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Begin by preparing your ingredients. Peel and slice the carrots into rounds, ensuring they are all approximately the same size for even cooking. |
| 2 | In a casserole dish, combine the sliced carrots, butter, and honey. Make sure the carrots are evenly coated with the honey and butter mixture. |
| 3 | Cover the casserole dish with a lid or microwave-safe cover to trap the steam during cooking. |
| 4 | Microwave the carrots on HIGH for 4-6 minutes, or until they are tender. Cooking time may vary depending on the wattage of your microwave and the thickness of the carrot slices. Check the carrots halfway through cooking and give them a stir to ensure they cook evenly. |
| 5 | Once the carrots are tender, carefully remove the casserole dish from the microwave using oven mitts or a kitchen towel, as it may be hot. |
| 6 | Serve the honey glazed carrots hot as a delightful side dish to accompany your favorite main course. Enjoy the sweet and savory flavors with every bite! |
Tips:
- For a caramelized finish, you can transfer the cooked carrots to a baking sheet and broil them in the oven for a few minutes after microwaving.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of honey according to your preference for sweetness. You can add more or less depending on how sweet you like your carrots.
- To make this recipe vegan, you can substitute the butter with a dairy-free alternative such as margarine or coconut oil.
