Honey Glazed Baby Carrots Recipe

Baby carrots are time savers and you usually have a bag in your produce drawer. These easy glazed carrots use those already peeled, cleaned baby carrots!

With a classic honey glaze everyone loves, you won't regret adding this recipe to your weekly meal plan.

These are the best glazed carrots to serve with roast chicken, glazed ham, BBQ ribs, roast beef, or as a side to Easter dinner, or at Thanksgiving. They work as the perfect pot-luck dish as well.

Baby Carrot side dish

Glazed carrots on the stovetop come together quickly, especially when you use already-peeled baby carrots right out of the bag! Honey glazed carrot recipes can be made with any shape or size of carrot though.

For my Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots I use baby French carrots that still have a little green stem on top. They look fancy and special.

You can cut standard carrots from a bag into rounds or medallions, or sticks like my Rosemary Roasted Glazed Carrots.

Carrots with green tops also work and you can cook these whole, in a large braiser on the stovetop, if you want a fancy presentation.

Carrot Glaze

Add all the ingredients to a skillet that has a tight-fitting lid. You'll stem the carrots with the butter and honey until they are tender and that's all you have to do.

Here are the basics you'll need for the carrot glaze recipe.

• 2 tablespoons butter. Use salted or unsalted.
• 3 tablespoons honey. Use raw, or whatever you have on hand.
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt. I like the mild flavor of kosher salt as opposed to table salt.
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice. This adds a bright acidity to the sweet dish.
• 1 clove minced garlic. Adds a lovely savory flavor.
• 1 pound baby carrots. These are already peeled and washed.
• 2 tablespoons water adds moisture to the pan for steaming.
• Chopped parsley is an optional garnish. You can also use chopped scallions or another herb.

Cover and steam the carrots for about 15 minutes until tender. Then uncover the pan and let the carrots cook for about 2 minutes until all the liquid is reduced and carrots become glazed.
