For my third and final dish in the ‘One vegetable three ways’ theme, I chose to do the ever simple and ever popular dish -honey glazed carrots. Usually baby carrots are used for this recipe but since those aren’t available in my part of the world, I picked the bigger carrots and sliced them to make this dish. I make it for the daughter for her snack box or an evening snack and she likes it most of the time. Kids!
Serves 2
WHAT WE NEED
300 gms Carrots (3-4)
1-2 tbsp Butter (Salted / unsalted)
1-2 tbsp Honey
A pinch of red chilly powder
A pinch of salt, if using unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups Water to cook the carrots
WHAT TO DO
- Heat the water in a vessel
- Wash, peel and cut the carrots into finger long pieces
- Add the carrots to the water once it starts getting hot
- The carrots should be tender in 5-7 minutes
- Drain the water and set the carrots aside
- In a pan, heat the butter
- Once the butter melts, add the carrots and salt (if using) and mix well
- After 2-3 minutes, add honey and mix well
- If this is not for kids, then use red chilly powder to balance the sweetness of carrots and honey
- Simmer for 3-4 minutes
- Once the carrots are glazed well, take off from the heat
- Enjoy!

Good one, Sowmya. My kids will definitely love these carrots with a honey glaze. Me thinking – Can honey be heated? Any thoughts?

I was quite sceptical about it but turns out it can be heated and it melts beautifully …..it takes a minute or so to get the glaze and then we can take it off the heat. Do try & let me know
